actually had a store in the area of the city I live in try to do it, he was sick of having to buy pennies to have pennies and got angry and decided he was going to set his til to round up and down and he found it was just way too complicated to do it so he kept the pennies I realize that if the government decided to stop making them there isn't much you can do but live with it, but I think there is also a down side to getting rid of pennies, I work in 7-eleven and most of our charity donation bins are filled with pennies granted they don't amount to much but people are way more willing to donate a few pennies than they are to donate a few dollars, the odd person will just toss all there change in but it's rather rare usually they take the change sort out the silver from copper and toss the copper in the bin, I think alot of charities would be losing out on these donations if pennies where to be erradicated...........................mind you this is about the usa not making pennies anymore.
