That is why I am supporting the retirement of the pennies. With me supporting the retirement of the penny I have some evidence on why the penny should be retired.

700 million dollars isn 't worth the one cent piece, we could be using this money on charity or something else important. Though the penny has been part of the U.S for more than a hundred years, it should not be minted anymore because of the high production cost and other countries such as canada don 't even bother using them at all.

Stated in Source 4 “The penny should stay” by Grace Harter. If the penny was so popular like source 4 states, why does it state otherwise in source 3 “Abolish the Penny” by William Safire, “Two-thirds of them immediately drop out of circulation, into piggy banks or—as The Times’s John Tierney noted five years ago—behind chair cushions or at the back of sock drawers next to your old tin-foil ball. Quarters and dimes circulated; pennies disappear because they are literally more trouble than they are worth.” summarizing that all up, the majority of the time people just toss pennies to the side, they are useless and should be abolished.
