The U.S. is following Canada's footsteps regarding the production of pennies and nickels. According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Giethner, our U.S. Mint intends to remove the penny and nickel coins from circulation beginning early in January 2013.

They should get rid of the filthy one dollar bills!
Pennies,,, okay,,, but why nickels?

Methinks ‘twould be a much better decision to end production of liberals/progressives.
Following a reasonable amount of time (which can be productively be used incinerate all vestiges of liberalism), the penny and nickel will once again be worth something.

I have a one gallon jar full of nickels and a big bag of pennies. I just keep throwing them in there and never seem to take to time to get rid of them.

The year 2011 marked the sixth consecutive year that pennies and nickels cost more to produce than they were worth in the market.

Nickels are 75% copper and 25% nickel. The “melt value” of today’s nickels is higher than the face value. They will go for the same reason silver was taken out of circulation decades ago.
