Each year the US MINT makeS 8 Billion pennies.
Not only IS THERE nothing you CAN BUY with a penny,
it's LITERALLY not WORTH THE METAL IT'S made of.
That red cent is actually PUTTING us in the red.
IT costS ALMOST 1.7 cents TO make a penny.
And by the way, it costs about 10 cents to make a nickel.

Congress held A HEARING last week on a proposal to make both COINS, OUT OF cheapER metals, even steel.
They say IT WOULD SAVE taxPAYERS more than 100 million dollars.

But for now, tossing THE penny ALtogether is not under consideration.

The penny WAS the first US coin TO feature A president;
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Next year, THE MINT PLANS TO issue a new penny
COMMEMORATING THE BICENTERNNIAL OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH.
More pennIES FOR US TO POCKET.

penny = 1 cent
nickel = 5 cents
dime = 10 cents
quarter = 25 cents

We need nickels! During inflation and the price of living goes up, things like a Coke in a coke machine will only go up 5 cents, stead of a quarter or more.
