If we didn't have pennies, store will have to round up the to the nearest nickel. Mark Weller is the Director of Americans for Common Cents (ACC ), He says "Three main reason to keep pennies,without pennies , nickel are going to be a problem for the charities that depend on penny drives." " the In 2012 people polled shows that 67% of Americans still want pennies. ]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146819 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146820 The first reason, why we should keep pennies is because if we get rid of pennies the prices of cloth and food will  go higher. ''In 2006, it began to cost more than to make a penny''. A lot of people tried to keep pennies two men where fighting to keep pennies. There name are Jarden and Zinc. Jarden gave $1.2 million to Americans for common cents (ACC). 67% of Americans want to keep the penny's. Many experts disagree with ACC. '' They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their pennies. I think that we should get ride of nickles because they cost twice as much as pennies.

They only add 1 cent to the penny to make  the penny  wich is fine because the nickle is still more than the penny. the nickle is more than the penny in cents it is five cents and the penny is one cent.        ]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146826 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146846 My first reason I want pennies and nickels to go because if we get rid of them we will use dimes.Nickels cost 10 cents to produce just 1 nickel and a nickel is worth 5 cents and the pennies cost 2 cents to produce but it's only worth 1 cent so it would cost us more to make them so why keep them but we can use dimes instead which only cost 5 cents to produce and they're value is 10 cents]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146846 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146860 Did you know that some countries don't make one cent coins anymore?  First, if we lost pennies then how could we pay for stuff because some prices may go up if we don't have pennies we would have to use 2 nickels just to make 1 cent and its much easier if we use pennies, According to the text, " If pennies were to be removed from circulation, the Salvation Army hopes the American public will continue to donate generously to help people in need. According to the story, " In 2006 it was beginning to cost more than a penny to make a penny and if we don't get pennies to stay we would never be able to buy stuff that is cheap because some stores may take up their price and would cost way more.  ]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146860 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146886 The first reason, why we should keep pennies is the "value of pennies have been dropping since 2006". There were two guys named jarden and zinc have been trying to keep pennies in use since 2006. This is what jarden has done.  Jarden has gave "$1.2 million Americans for Common Cents." Charities that depend on penny drives won't be able to raise as much money as they used to do. And also there shows that 67% want to keep pennies in use. Even some people are scared that they are gonna  be paying more for clothes, water. food, all those things you need to survive.
Steel is not that expensive but zinc is. Pennies are 97.5 Zinc also 2.5 copper. Ma\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ because of pennies people are starting to use credit cards because its kinda of easy?.  ]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146886 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146893 My first reason, I think pennies should be made because,if we don't the price of the things would be higher.If you buy something they would round it up to the nearest nickle so it would cost more money.The Americans for Common Cents said that "prices would most likely be rounded up, people would be forced to pay more." Also the pennies cost less then the nickels.The pennies only cost 2 cents and the nickles cost 10 cents to make.]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146893 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146898 Did you know that it costs 2 cents to make a one cent coin! Also, it costs 10 cents to make a 5 cent coin, so why do we need these coins if it costs more money to make it than it is worth.If we get rid of those coins than we would go to dimes. And dimes only cost 5 cents to make and they are worth 10 cents. This would be beter because the guvorment would save money.]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146898 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146938 The first point that I would make, is that if we lose the penny it could lead us to a penny less world . If we lose the penny price could go up like toy and food ]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146938 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146942 The first point I would like to make is, we should keep the penny. Because without pennies how would we pay for some of our important needs. Mark Weller is in Americans Common Cents (ACC). He says, "Without it,we would become more reliant on the nickel, which also has problem;charities that depend on penny drive would not be able to raise as much money ; and a 2012 poll shows 67% of Americans want to keep the penny". People would be paying more if the penny is gone. One example is Major George Hood of the Salvation Army they get many coin donations they say, "If pennies were to be removed from circulation, the Salvation  Army hopes the American public will continue to donate generously to help people in need". ]]> 2017-04-25 15:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168146942 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147125 The first reason that I think we should keep pennies is because, if we get rid of pennies prices of things can get higher. For example, if you bought a shirt that cost nine dollars and seventy-six the would round it to the nearest nickel which is four more cents plus taxes. Another reason, is the Americans for Common Cents (ACC) is a group that is trying to keep the pennies in use. One thing Mark Weller (ACC's executive director) said if we get rid of it, "Without it, we would because more reliant on the nickel, which also has problems." according to the story.]]> 2017-04-25 15:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147125 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147205 It is important to understand that the penny might not be in production anymore. People believe that it is a waste of money, since a penny costs two cents to make. Although according to Two Sides to the Coin, " we would become more reliant on the nickel," if the penny stopped in production. The nickel also has issues though. It's the same problem as the penny, since it cost more to make it compared to want it's worth. Also if you do the math the penny and nickel are the same amount of loss, because both coins cost ten cents to make five cents. Which leads me to believe that if the penny will disappear, the nickel should too.]]> 2017-04-25 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147205 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147258 For example, the problem about having pennies is that it's more money to make them then they are worth.  According to the text they stated " The value of the penny has been dropping for years." Another example, is that most local stores are going to start to round up and that is great for the Government because they will get more money

People don't even use pennies that much. My second reason why we shouldn't have pennies is, because most people don't even use cash.in]]> 2017-04-25 15:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147546 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147838 First, I think pennies are better to keep  because the coin that would swap out for  a more expensive coin. If the U.S gets rid of any coin it should be the nickel because the penny only costs 2 cents while the nickel is made after paying 10 cents.]]> 2017-04-25 15:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168147838 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168148648 My first reason to not taking away the penny is. Many prices of clothes, toys and other thing will go up. Some people can't even buy clothes as it is now. And now they want to take away the penny. If we take it away. ]]> 2017-04-25 15:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168148648 paizhill9584 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168148992 The first reason I think we should get rid of the penny, is because they cost more to make than what they are worth. For example, to make one penny it would cost two cents. Another reason we should get rid of pennies for, is because according to the article, "Waiting for Change" it says that, "most in-store purchases are now made with debit or credit cards, not cash." Also, steel is one solution for not getting rid of pennies. Because steel is less expensive than zinc. But pennies are made of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.]]> 2017-04-25 15:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168148992 mattinse9578 https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168149655 Did you know that it costs 2 cents to make the penny? To begin with if we get rid of the penny we might save some money but not that much money. We would get much more money if we were to get rid of the nickel. The nickel costs 10 cents to make. Not that we should get rid of either coin.  Because as the article Do Pennies Make Sense states. "How will you pay for the $9.99 toy?" ]]> 2017-04-25 15:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sjheslington/brcmsllaifyl/wish/168149655
