Personally, I hope they don't do away with the penny. If they do, I won't know what to do with our backpack full of pennies. Durn thing's so heavy I can barely lift it.

I've been too embarrassed and lazy (lazy because I don't want to go through the bag and check that none of the pennies is of interest to collectors; it'd take a week!) to haul it off to the bank for them to count. It's all the pennies my wife and I ever tossed into a jar throughout our lives, plus all the pennies her parents and her grandmother ever put into a jar. I'm not kidding, it's a HUGE pile of pennies. Couldn't believe it when I first saw it.

Aha! YOUR family is responsible for the coin shortage! :-)
