Anytime some stranger tells you how concerned he is about YOUR welfare, LOOK OUT! Such is the case with Kolbe etal seeking to eliminate the penny. His state is still a big copper producer, and rounding up would benefit larger coins made of that metal(surprise, surprise). So what exactly do YOU, average consumer, get out of eliminating the penny? Will a cost of $5.71 now be rounded DOWN to $5.70, or rounded UP to $5.75? Let me guess ...
Look to him who profits is the old adage. Look hard and you'll soon find who really wants to rid you of those nasty, troublesome, pesky pennies. Why would some organization suddely invest a lot of time, money and effort into a campaign to eliminate the penny? Because they're a bunch or high-minded, civic-minded, patriots? Best to look behind the smoke, mirrors and veils for the truth. Why would they bother?
