Hah, me too. I read last week that Elon was going to slay the penny. Cash transactions (remember those?) will round up or down to the nearest 5 cents, and electronic transactions will go unchanged.

Every now and then one's adversaries do something right. Stopped clocks and blind squirrels deserve acknowledgment when they do.

Changes to currency and economic transactions should not be announced without discussion on SuperBowl Sunday. Even if it makes economic sense, this is just a way for Trump to hide the inflation he’s going to create. Retail isn’t going to round down.

Absolutely. And there's also the point that Obama tried to do this many years back and was stopped by... the GOP.

Canada done away with pennies at least a decade ago now. They are pretty much useless and just take up space.
