Penny for your thoughts


Do you hate change? No, I don't mean life changes. I mean coins, pennies specifically. I hate spending all my time to roll them and make out with maybe $5, when I am through. A friend of mine states that it costs more for the mint to make pennies, than they are worth. She says, they would be worth more as scrap metal than anything else!
What do you think? Are the days of the penny coming to an end? What about the days of the coin and paper money? Electronic money is the way to go in this day and age. If we eliminate the penny, surely the nickel is not far behind, then the dime, the quarter, so on. Our coppered old Honest Abe coin, is a piece of our history.

Which leads me to ask, if we get rid of the penny, what will we put in our penny loafers?

I hate change. The only change I like is the loonie and toonie! And you guys have none of those! A toonie and me and Curtis get to go for a swim. A loonie helps with the lockers, or a grocery cart! lol. Change is a pain!

At my ripe old age, I still can't pass by a penny without picking it up. I was told it was good luck to find a penny, and if you don't stop to get it, that's bad luck. Crazy!

I once rolled $40 wotrth of pennies and took it to the bank. Lets' just say I'll never do that again.I would go to a coin machine and let them have some of the money instead of all that time hand rolling.I do love change though because it is money nonetheless.lol
