“Trump instructs the Treasury to halt penny production”.
- Thread starter Eppy99
- Start date
Seems like a good move, given the expenses. The nickel is even more of a losing proposition.
If Biden had called for halting penny production, however, there would be outrage that socialism and the deep state was taking over and continuing to transition the USA to a cashless society

It is a good idea. It has been proposed before. Looks like the first bill that would have done that was in 1990.
I saw in Europe they have eliminated their equivalent of a penny. If you pay in cash, it is rounded. Pay by card/check, then the "pennies" are taken in. I suspect that will happen here.
Now if they can get rid of that 9tenths of a coin we have to use at gas stations.
Used to be able to buy a piece of Bazooka bubble gum for a penny. Back when America was great, back at Jerry’s Delicatessen, which Yogi’s replaced, on 10th Street.
Speaking of gas stations......it chaps my ass when their air pump doesn't work or the payment system is out of order. More often than not it seems these pumps arent working and it's always in the dead of winter. Can't tell you how many times I've nearly had frostbite trying to unscrew those little caps.
And remeber when you could get Nutty Bars at the gas station for .25 cents? I thought that was the greatest thing since bread was sliced.
I thought it was The Dow in there before Yogi's, until the cult moved to the east coast.
The penny needs to go. But to be honest, Trump probably doesn't have the power to do this.
Is this a congressional decison and what's the argument against it?
Honestly its kind of a shame because I think Abe is the coolest looking of the coins and the copper pops.
Abe is like, "Just shoot me...again."
I don’t know what exactly came after Jerry’s. It was Jerry’s when I left. Came back years later and there was Yogi’s dominating at 10th and Indiana. Used to be a service station on the corner (Gulf, maybe?) and then Jerry’s, which faced McCalla Elementary.
There was a period of BWW&W in there in the late 80s between Jerry's and Yogi's.
Kennedy Half for me. Uncirculated/proof version of course.
I'm a Bison nickle fan myself...
What can I say... They didn't know any better when they named it...
It's still a great look...
