The bit about “it costs more to make them than they’re worth” came about back when pennies were still predominantly made of copper. Now they’re a thin layer of copper on a blob of zinc.
Stupid pennies are bad enough but how about the way they price gasoline. They add .009 cents at the end so we’ll all think it’s such a bargain. “Oh wow gas is $3.099… that’s so much better than $3.10” That’s a tenth of a penny less. Really! Is there such a thing as a tenth of a penny? Can we get real here.

Well then Gray, maybe you should grab an empty water bottle and start putting all your pennies in it.

Get rid of them. Canada pulled them from circulation in 2012. Many others as well. You can look it up
