I mean, c'mon. They've obliterated the use of the penny! Free the pennies! Denounce the ways of the commie terrerist librul nickles! Turn to the copper God!

2. Pennies are the vermin of the coin world.
So many of them, just sitting around being useless. I must have like a hundred of them in this room, and what do they make? A measly one dollar?

Nickles at least look worth something, plus they have Thomas Jefferson on them. Since they robbed poor TJ of his 2 dollar bill, the least they can do is give him a nickle. Abraham Lincoln is everywhere, every time I turn around with the Abraham Lincoln!

5. Yeah and my weekend experience proved it
My metro card was a nickle away from being an all day pass and my brother's friend had a nickle thus I was able to ride the subway all day.

9. I throw away all my copper
Whenever I get a penny as change I get rid of it. A penny wasted a day is a penny not saved.
