They dropped the penny many years ago and integrated a system where everything is rounded up or down when you buy something in the stores. Living "penniless" is easy and if Australia has done it successfully, I don't see why we can't either. The smallest unit of currency in Australia is the 5 cent piece.

I suggest that we launch a National campaign to collect them all to assemble a penny mountain on Parliament Hill and then to apply the 20 or so billion of collected coins to pay down the National debt. Who wouldn't contribute these hard-to-get-rid-of coins that are sitting in jars to something useful, such as paying down the debt? The penny is robbing us of productivity by wasting our time.
