    Default You Know What's Dumb?

    smurfing pennies. What good are they? They're stupid and fill up your goddamn wallet/purse with useless coins you never use!

    Let's talk about why pennies are the worst coin.

    I hope im not only one who read "penises" instead of "pennies"

    Also if you make an effort to spend your change some days you go out and end up spending no notes at all.

    I don't get all this penny hate. Next it's going to be the nickle, and they'll have to make $1000 bills because our wallets are becoming so bogged down by the amount of hundreds we have to carry.

    I say bring back the half penny!

    Change is redundant in the digital age. And when something happens which makes paying digitally utterly impossible, odds are your money will be worthless.

    I haven't payed with cash on a regular basis since I was getting an allowance from my parents. smurf the penny. Damn things just sit in jars oxidizing until I have such an obscene amount that they're worth rolling and taking to the bank.

    There needs to be more $2 bills so I don't have to carry quarters. I hate carrying any coins.

    Why?

    I like to eat at a lot of small family-owned places that can't afford credit card fees, so I need cash to eat there. I also enjoy dollar coins, and in Japan I used coins most of the time.

    The penny would be useless if things were priced appropriately, ie in whole dollar or quarter amounts. Get rid of all the other crap.

    The English equivalent is the 1p coin. My god is that thing useless. Even the 2p and 5p coins are virtually useless unless I'm buying something incredibly cheap.

    I think the problem is though, back in the day, the lesser coins out there probably had some worth where prices were lower. Now though, you'd be lucky to get away with using those same coins with today's prices.
