House unanimously votes to eliminate 1-cent coin permanently

[Pogo]

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.

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

I have about 20 lbs of them in a couple of cans. Worth more as metal than money.

That's the most important thing Congress could find to focus their attention on?

Does this mean instead of some philosopher giving us their .02 we’ll have to listen to one and a half times more shit?

Two years the V.A. worked 'antibiotics' on the small wound 'cellulites' on my leg with no luck to heal it. Two months of silver treatment at an outside wound clinic with silver? Gone cured silver works. Medieval times years ago the wealthy drank out of silver challises. Not to show off but those who did did not get sick. They did not know why it just worked..

ADD: The clinic put 2 in. by 2 in. thin silver pads on the wound. I laughed but two months later I stopped laughing.

I drink my water out of a copper cup. Remember when water lines were plumbed with copper. Copper walking sticks to ground you. Hospitals used silver, until the drug company's told them to get rid of it

Roman medics carried silver staples to close cuts. It’s said they used them because it drove away infection. Could be the origin of how silver got associated with curing werewolf infection when lead wouldn’t.

Only pre-1982 pennies, of which I have a lot.

Yes sir the new copper pennies are 98% Zinc with a quick spray of copper coloring. Good to make BBs for your BB gun that's about it.
