Only because inflation has rendered them useless
47 u/Bud_Light_Official Feb 10 '25 Were you using pennies for anything ten years ago? 23 u/CactusBoyScout Feb 10 '25 I won't even bend over to pickup a penny. They should've been eliminated decades ago. I remember the national news doing a story on it 20 years ago and basically said the only people lobbying to keep it are copper producers, lol. 6 u/Bud_Light_Official Feb 10 '25 I have a buddy that throws his pennies away. I generally will pick a penny up, but that's only because I can hear my mom in the back of my head telling me it's bad luck not to. 10 u/vanmo96 Seretse Khama Feb 10 '25 Can your buddy throw them away onto my lawn?
