    House unanimously votes to eliminate 1-cent coin permanently

    Americans may soon no longer be able to offer a penny for their thoughts — because the 1-cent coin will be relegated to the ash heap of history.
    The House of Representatives voted to send the smallest piece of U.S. currency the way of the dodo on Monday, passing the bipartisan Common Cents Act in a unanimous vote.
    The Common Cents Act passed the House to officially end penny minting and establish cash rounding to the nearest nickel for cash transactions.
    We have met the enemy and he is us.

    Psychological fact people will walk right past an item they see marked to an even number but make it a penny less and they will buy. What the hell are they going to do now make it a nickel less?
    While the total U.S. national debt is approximately $40.05 trillion they should do the same with the dollar bill as the American dollar is useless.
    If every legally counted person in America gave $117, 349 to our federal govt. our country could be debt free. Do your part for our country give today. Wheelbarrow.jpg
