Penny Lane

Are the pennies really worth it? Many countries around the world have eliminated the penny which raises the question: Should the U.S eliminate the penny? We are wasting money and time by keeping the production going so why not just stop it all now? After doing plenty of research I believe the U.S should eliminate the penny. It’s about time America did something that could help us save us valuable time and money. Canada has gotten rid of the penny because of the cost to produce them and it has saved

How much do you think about the penny everyday? Probably not much. Turns out, there is a colossal debate about keeping the penny or not. The penny should be banned in the united states. This should happen because of the cost, the fact that it's a big waste of money, and furthermore because people don’t use the penny. That is why the penny should be banned. One of the biggest reasons the penny should be banned is because it costs money to make money. In 2011 it cost 2.41 cents to make and distribute

A penny for your thoughts? Well, here is my two cents: the American penny is practically worthless. According to the 2014 Biennial Report to Congress as required by The Coin Modernization, Oversight, and Continuity Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-302), between 2011 and 2014, “. . . the production cost of the one-cent coin (penny) has decreased 31.1 percent to $0.0166 from $0.0241” (Report 2). While the cost of production has gone down, it still costs more to produce a single penny than that penny is

Another key point to eliminate the penny is that it is not convenient for the average person to carry or use. “The National Association of Convenience Stores estimate that handling pennies adds 2.5 seconds per cash transaction.”(Tierney). This shows that the penny wastes more time than is needed to make a simple cash transaction. Also, if someone drops a penny onto the ground most people don’t see that it is worth their time to pick up, proving that the penny means nearly nothing to the average

Should the US get rid of the penny or not? The US should get rid of the penny because it's a waste of money and they are just money sitting in our pockets. They also should get rid of the penny because the meddle they use is expensive for just one penny. The US also should get rid of the penny because it cost 1.7 cents to make,but it's only worth one cent. So the penny is way more money to make than it's actually worth. Pennys are one of the most expensive coins to make but are used the least amount

use the penny may not seem very important, but it actually is due to cost and usage. Although the penny has a long history in the United States and can be considered an icon, in reality it is just not feasible anymore to continue to make the penny. According the article “Give a Penny-Save the Day” written by Ted Waterhouse, it cost more than 2.4 cents to create one penny. That is double the amount the penny is worth. The US mint which creates our money is investigating how to make the penny more cost

the Actual Copper Amount in a Penny Introduction: In 1909, on the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, the one cent coin (penny) was introduced. Between 1864 and 1982, the penny was made of 95% copper and 5% zinc and tin. In the 1980s the cost of producing the penny grew to be higher than its face value so, in 1982 the composition of the penny was altered to have a core of zinc metal with a thin copper shell. The percentage of copper now allowed in the penny by Congress is 2.5% by mass.

The Penny the name of a coin familiar to all of us. Throughout time every day,week,month, and year, it's getting too bothersome and old for each and every one of us. This worthless piece of copper is only worth one cent. People can't get much with pennies nowadays, they are either throwing them out or just have alternatives like electronic cards or larger cash amounts in their wallet. Nobody needs needs this coin creating any more issues than what its making already. We can abolish these pennies and

“Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck” is a well known quote we all know and love, but in the near future we may not see too many pennies lying around. Since the 1900’s, pennies have been a staple of American culture and literature, but in this modern day and age Americans don’t have time to appreciate the penny or even use it. The US government is now considering stopping penny production. Many other countries have also dropped their smallest coin, including Australia
