I get people have nostalgia around different coins, but it literally costs us more money to make the penny than it is worth. 1 Penny cost 3.7¢ to make.
Let's kill the nickel too. 1 nickel costs 14¢ to make.
Nobody likes using them anymore as they barely buy anything unless you come in with a bag of them.
