nickels and pennies anyway.

I am guilty of saving pennies.
When I get home I dump them into a large jar.
I''m too lazy to cash them in.

Plus fewer places will accept a roll of pennies any more.
There are now machines in many food stores that will "pay" you for your change but not the full value.
That makes me mad.

I think we should just get rid of pennies, and round all purchases and paychecks to the nearest nickel.

I agree with you on ditching the penny.
I find them so annoying!
Atleast most stores around here keep a penny jar by the register so you dont get back 4 pennies.
