Wiping Pennies Off the Face of the Planet

Seeking to wipe pennies off the face of the planet is a little ambitious for this article which is only a few small paragraphs, but RL Diehl has the right idea.  If retailers would stop using them in their cash drawers, then the mint would stop producing them. But it's probably not going to happen that way. There are a few retailers out there doing it, but not enough of them.  You see rounding at stadiums and sports arenas, fairs and amusement parks, and even movie theaters, but for many people, they don't frequent these types of establishments on a regular basis, so it doesn't sink in.  We need to get grocery stores, department stores, and restaurants to start doing it, and then we'd see the shift come.
