More On Getting Rid of the Penny:
Greening the Currency
Scoop, an anonymous politico, sent me the following suggestion:
...you can bring back the ban the penny campaign and kick it into high gear...all you need to do is remind people that the mining and smelting of copper, nickel, and zinc creates green house gases. Ban the penny to save the world!
