Brilliant Idea for Penny
JimH:
Trump has ordered that pennies stop being made.
Let's do the nickel, too and round prices up to the nearest dime. Even a dime is nearly nothing. At $10 an hour for each, a buyer and seller use up a dime in about 20 seconds, even disregarding the time of the people in line behind.
Now a quarter is really worth something. With six of them, you can buy a small Snickers bar.
Which used to cost $.05 when I was a kid.

And if it was in the UK it was called a Marathon bar back then

And it was a lot bigger than a Snickers and cost a lot less, I can remember the days when a MilkyWay cost a whole 3 UK pennies as did a Wagon Wheel.

I'm sure Wagon Wheels were bigger when I was a child.
