Obsolete Coins

Did you know that in the past, the US has minted half cent, 2 cent, and 3 cent coins?  It's true.  The half cent had various depictions of lady liberty and was minted periodically from 1793 to 1857.  The 2 cent coin was minted between 1864 and 1872 and had a union shield and other varying designs. The 3 cent coin was minted in varying materials from 1851 to 1889 with lady liberty and other designs.  All of these coins were discontinued well over 100 years ago, because everyone understood that coins of these values were not necessary.  So why, more than a century later, are we still minting a 1 cent coin?  It makes no logical sense whatsoever.  Vote now to get rid of it!
