Let me state that this story is not in any way true, but this story is pretty funny only because everyone knows that pennies are a pain in the neck. Let's all just decide to get rid of them now.

More info than you could possibly want on the US one cent coin. This is NOT a coin collecting blog. This blog is about whether we should keep the penny in circulation or get rid of it. Click on the big penny to go to the main page.
