100 pennies don't equal a dollar.

Introduction:
"Do we really need pennies?" a controversial question asked by Jeff Sommer in "Penny Wise, or 2.4 Cents Foolish?." In the United States it costs $2.41 to produce the cent,  more than what it's worth. The US is torn between eliminating the forgotten cent or saving a penny earned.  Though many Americans have grown fond of the penny, the cent is pretty much irrelevant to everyday life.

To begin with, pennies don't have that much value. A lot of people throw them away or don't use them. Another reason is that pennies are a waste of money and time. Putting them together and counting them takes a long time. Its better to have dimes, quarters, nickles,  and dollars coins. Also, pennies are worth so little that people throw them away and don't have time saving them. Another thing is people lose pennies so fast because of there size so its better to get rid of them. A penny is not worth it self or with others, its still to little to save them. Lastly, there waste of time and there not that worth it of saving them so I and others agree to get rid of them and put Lincoln on other coin or dollar.

Secondly, making money also cost money. In an article name "The Ever-Changing Penny" written by Maria Story, she wrote, "The U.S Mint is still exploring additional designs and different, more cost effective, metal compositions for the penny." We had changed it's materials over and over again the years because how much it cost to making a one cent piece. It takes over 1.8 cent to produce one penny, costing the government to pay more than what it's worth for something of less value.

My opponents may argue that destroying the penny will make it harder for charities to raise money. However, my opponents may need to consider the amount of money the cost it takes to produce a penny; 2.4 cents, which is double the actual value of it. According to, "Penny Wise, or 2.4 Cents Foolish," the author states, "The United States government lost $60.2 million dollars on the production and distribution of pennies in the 2011 fiscal year." This is a strong point, since the penny is actually hurting the United States government. If we destroyed the penny, the United States government could save money, and help fund more for charities. In addition, charities could still raise money without the penny, so there would be no real harm done.

In the end, while many Americans treasure the penny, we would be better off without them. The cent still costs twice as much more than what its worth to us. While spending so much money producing the penny we can actually be using that penny- making money for charity and schools or other funds. Including the fact that many have already forgotten the cent stored away in their wallet, the penny can easily be replaced through rounding the costs. So why waste money on something that we've already forgotten?
