Pennies are Swaggy by NGAN LE https://padlet.com/7nle647/vpn5e5z7o2hb Get out if you don't like pennies. en-us 2017-05-04 19:56:25 UTC 2017-05-10 19:16:53 UTC hello@padlet.com CounterClaim By Yan May Zhang https://padlet.com/7nle647/vpn5e5z7o2hb/wish/170064005 Although some may claim that pennies come with many benefits, there are more bad that good.The opposing side has a point to declare that pennies can help with things like charity and donations; but based on the article "Can We All Just Agree That Pennies Are Stupid And Need To Be Retired" by Nick Wing, it states that the government spent nearly $169 million in 2013 just to put $70 million of currency into circulation.This information is crucial to acknowledge because this means that the government is wasting money to produce something that is obsolete.The money being invested into the pennies could be used for other purposes, like poverty.]]> 2017-05-04 22:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/7nle647/vpn5e5z7o2hb/wish/170064005 First Reason by Caitlyn Rodriguez https://padlet.com/7nle647/vpn5e5z7o2hb/wish/170090177 Let's face it: pennies are great. They're conveniently small enough to store anywhere and they're relatively cheap to make. According to Joe Weisenthal's article Guess How Much It Costs The Government To Produce A Nickel, he states that the nickel costs "...approximately 11.2 cents to produce." Meanwhile, the penny costs a considerate amount less, being made for only 2.4 cents. Although the penny is manufactured for more than what it's worth, the nickel is a bit far from being produced for what it's worth. Due to this, the gorvernment doesn't necessarily spend a lot of money on these great little coins. This leaves good reasoning on why the government should NOT eliminate pennies and should continue making pennies.
