YES! The dollar coin WILL BE accepted once the bills are gone.

Bring back the $2 bill.

All sales rounded up or down to the nearest nickel.

Math calculations and digital transactions not affected by elimination of the penny. Only CASH transactions affected by the Penney.

I currently THROW AWAY pennies. They are USELESS and take up valuable space in cash drawers that should be used for dollar coins.

I’ll bet the total amount of time and money WASTED on pennies is YUGE!!!!!

BAN PENNIES AND THE ONE DOLLAR BILL.....NOW!

Ban pennies and the people who have been hoarding pre-1982 copper pennies will melt them down to sell as scrap copper; the real copper penny is currently worth about 3 cents. Also, this destruction of nearly all copper pennies will make my Lincoln cent collection much more valuable.

You could also go straight to a two-dollar coin, like Canada did some years ago.

Canada rounds your change up or down to the nearest 5 cents. The last time I went there in 2015, I wanted to exchange some Canadian small change for Canadian quarters, and the small change included pennies. The person seemed surprised, apparently about the pennies, but went ahead and included the pennies in the exchange.
