My thoughts don't make any cents.

If I had a quarter for everytime I've heard THAT excuse.

Wanna split a dime bag?

You're a day late and a dollar short my friend.

Insane to keep making them at a lose they last for a very long time no reason to keep making them.

I'm going to make a roll of pennies and shove them up someones ass. Maybe my own.

Only our federal government can spend money as stupidly as producing pennies.

Okay, math is nowhere near my strong suit so feel free to correct me if need be.

1,000,000 pennies = $10,000.00

At a cost of 1.62 cents to make one penny...it costs the government $16,200.00 to make $10,000.00 worth of pennies.

Wonder how many million pennies they make a year?

The US Mint is like a USMB poster that likes to change their avatar every once in a while.

We need the penny! In three more years the penny is going to be what our dollar is worth.

I say, save the penny!
