also the penny will be redesigned four times in 2009 to honor Abraham Lincoln.
Talk about a waste of resources. Make 2009 the last penny, and put Lincoln on the $5 coin.

The folks at the Taco Bell who can barely give change when the register tells them the amount will have a devil of a time rounding (in either direction) with the elimination of pennies. Convenience stores and some ofther places use penny cups, that work out well.
I'll believe that a penny is insignificant when gas stations no longer charge to the tenth of a penny.
