CMV: Abolish the penny!

The penny (as in the US currency) is practically useless. From both an economic, and patriotic standpoint, it would be in America's best interest to abolish the penny.

Economic:

Each penny costs 1.7 cents to make, putting the government (further) into debt.

Inflation had caused the penny to drop in value, and it will only continue to do so.

Many studies have shown that abolishing the penny would not decrease the amount of change donated to charity.

Patriotic:

Abraham Lincoln would probably not want want the government going into debt for the sole purpose of remembering him, also, he is on the five dollar bill.

Abolishing the penny would make people who hold any significant amount angry. Also it’s legal tender so making it randomly valueless makes US currency seem less stable and reliable. Simply stopping the production and circulation of pennies may be a better way to stop the use. Eventually businesses would not be able to have enough pennies to make change so they would just raise their prices to make them unnecessary, bypassing the government.
