I LOVE AMERICA AND CAPITALISM DESPITE BEING POOR AS FUCK. I WILL NEVER RETIRE BUT HERE'S ANOTHER 200$ FOR UKRAINE, SLAVA

Who What Now posted:

There's an actual factual penny lobby in congress to keep pennies around
Same with other denominations. It's a small, but non-negligible waste of taxpayer money that just coasts on due to the lobbying and pepper being change-averse (ha).

Little poo poo like this and daylight savings time seem like it would be a smart thing for a politician to take on and get known for making a policy change that the broader population supports, though at this point if a Democrat did so the right wing would immediately seize on it as part of the culture war: "Why does AOC want to take Honest Abe out of circulation? Is it because she's part of the globalist pedophile deep state conspiracy‽‽"
