I seldom have more than four or five pennies in my pocket at any one time – I spend them. Eliminate the penny and everything gets rounded up.
On the topic of coins – I’d like to see the elimination of the one and five dollar bill, replacing them with coins. It’s a hassle to pull my wallet for a dollar. I’d take coins in my pocket any time, and it wouldn’t weight me down any – I seldom have more than a few ones or fives in my wallet.

1. Whose face is on a penny?
2. What state is he from?
3. What state is the Speaker of the House from?

And you wonder why this idea 'molders in some congressional cubbyhole'?
