I think we should push for the opposite and start minting the half-cent again.

I remember as a kid when individual bubble gum was 1/2 cent. Candy bars were a nickel and sales tax was 2%. Anything under $.50 was not taxed. Sheesh I sound like my Grandparents

The typical price for a half cent is over a hundred bucks now! Stop making pennies and the price will rise! (Nickels cost 11 cents each so stop making them too).
