The End of the Penny



This cartoon addresses the mint stopping the production of pennies. The penny actually cost 1.5 cents to make, so the mint was losing a lot of money making these for so long. It also shows how it happened around the Christmas Season.

This cartoon interested me because I've always been a fan of Rudolph. Also, I was never too fond of pennies.

My only issue with the stopping of the penny is that prices will have to change on a lot of items. What do you do if pennies aren't around anymore and something costs $8.23?
