    Why’s it a bad idea to get rid of coins at this point anyway. What can you still buy that is a fraction of a dollar that actually matters? Anything that cheap can just be sold in multiples that amount to even dollar amounts.

    Getting rid of coins and rounding to nearest dollar sounds great to me but I don’t know what the drawbacks are.

      There’s still some edge cases floating around. Some laundromats, parking meters, using a shopping cart at Aldi, older vending machines, bottle deposits, probably a few more but that’s off the top of my head.

        You are the truest bastion of peace and love for the poor, ever since Jesus himself. Your solution to poverty shall be resounded for millenia to come “let them keep their pennies!”.

        You abject, fucking, imbecile.
