This is bullshit. I don't care that pennies are expensive or whatever. It is proper for our currency to have a 1 cent denomination. Bring back the half cent too man.
Comparing pennies to their cost of manufacture never made much sense anyway. Coins are used in thousands of transactions during their 30-50 years in circulation, while a paper dollar bill is lucky to last 7 years without falling apart. That penny probably amounted to $50 dollars worth of transactions in its lifetime, who cares if it's initial cost was three cents or whatever?

that'd make sense if they only made a billion pennies every 5 years or something but the US Mint strikes 19 million pennies a damn day. That's 7 billion pennies a year!
 
Africa's the old world? Now that you put it like that, I think maybe white Saffers should have just tried winning, like we did against our natives.
Old world being Europe you know the place Washington, Jefferson, Revere, Adams families came from the place where the founding stock Americans emigrated from. The South Africans and Rhodesians fought against the niggers but America sanctioned them along with the rest of the world for being bad to the poor niggos because they like just need rights man and they'll totally stop being subhumans with a sub 80iq. While they dealt with communist (jewish) funded rebels within their country committing terrorist attacks daily. It would be like if the English decided to arm the redskins in America with colts and repeaters so they could shoot at Americans and stop them from expanding west all while blockading imports and exports from ever touching the water around the United States while everyone else stops trade with you.

That's 28 pennies minted per American, each year. Hardly an unexpected amount. It also makes sense regardless of the number minted because it's the ratio of transactions/penny that matters.

7 billion pennies a year costs $210 million with a face value of $70 million, which facilitates roughly $10.5 billion in transactions over their collective lifetime in circulation. $210 million is less than the budget of the latest Marvel flop, and less than USAID was spending each year promoting anti-gamer propaganda.

In comparison, the US Bureau of Engraving prints roughly 38 million $1 dollar bills each day, or nearly 14 billion a year. At a cost of 7.5 cents per bill, that's a total printing cost of over $1 billion each year. A dollar bill lasts on average 22 months and a maximum of about seven years, while a penny lasts 30 to 50 years. Both earn well over a thousand fold their cost of manufacture in their lifetime.
 
all the people malding over the fact that they voted for Trump only for him to fuck them over
not a single person, NOT A SINGLE GODDAMN PERSON, NOT ONE, is upset over trump "fuckign them over" You can't point to a single shred of proof, you bird dick polishing faggot.
you're mad you aren't getting USAID money for polishing bird dicks or whatever faggot shit you were doing
LOL, yeah, that's pretty accurate i bet. Totally stealing that.

Redskins did have firearms and we fought them on and off all through that westward expansion, and we fought and won a war against the English not only for our independence but again not long after, during which I'm sure they did their best to enact exactly what you're describing. We won the wars, and when we didn't like where the indians were, we put them somewhere else.

Angloid colonization worldwide turned to a Quixotic civilizing mission (at least they're not as horny as the Spanish), and the fact that they couldn't get along with the Boers well enough to stop the Zulus overrunning everything makes me question your reductive lust for more whites. I said elsewhere, back when the US had a frontier, we got enterprising, freedom loving immigrants who made this country what it is. Now all the good whites are already here, because the more conservative yet patriotic ones who were left got ground up in two world wars. I'm sure there's some good saffers we could be getting, plus plenty of naive retards and plain weirdos. Like null says, what were these white freaks even doing in Africa; and their failures, even in the face of international pressure, don't reflect well. See also kiwis and strayans, they're not based, not anymore, they're land acknowledging fuckups who heeded the call to turn in the guns.

Also just a thought on equating commies and jews: maybe they did get subverted by the meddling atheist type jews, but then it's funny that they collaborated with the based ethno-nationalist jews in Israel on their nuclear weapons programs.
 
Did you know that for the last 20 years South African and Nigerian version of Sesame Street has had a HIV-positive muppet named Kami

While hilarious, that’s actually quite progressive (as in the based Teddy Roosevelt way, not the gay libtard way) and forward-thinking IMO. That part of the world actually has kids with AIDS for no fault of their own.

ETA: I am in no way affiliated with that weird Darth Vader kid.

I believe we faced armed, hostile Indians and blockaded ports before.

Apparently Trump and Shane Gillis collided tonight. From cancelled on Saturday Night Live to this. Shane just keeps owning the retards.
Trump broke into a Gillis-impersonation whining about faggot beer, and Shane did his Trump-impersonation whining about nobody getting his Jurassic Park jokes.
 
@LORD IMPERATOR just wants to ruffle the same feathers as Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Fatpacks . Having an opposing opinion is good for you as a sanity check, Plus it's entertaining.
I tend to give out a like when someone comes in going against the grain for those reasons, but I haven't been very impressed so far. Agitated Gerbil seemed like someone who's at least read a book, but when you think the Butler assassination attempt is an "obvious" psyop, most likely you're just retarded about how guns work on the level of Biden's "cops should shoot them in the legs to incapacitate them, not shoot to kill" thing.

Also, don't fucking accidentally tag HHH into politics general on superbowl night, that's just rude.
 
I can’t see anybody reversing the penny EO, so in a few decades you’ll have everything cost rounded numbers in America, perhaps the quarter will be seen as the smallest coin by then
As of 2024 Pennies cost 3 cents to make and Nickels cost 11.5 cents to make.

Dimes cost 5.3 cents to make

Just get rid of them and make 10 cent the smallest coin. And just round to the nearest 10c at checkout at the supermarket. Like most other countries do.

Sure, "but what if someone goes to Safeway and carefully picks items so that the total will end up at xx.25 and it will then be rounded down to xx.20. They make 5 cent on this transaction". Yeah, fucking let them.
Sure, and if you go to Safeway 200 times and do this you will save 10$. Who cares. For normal people the rounding ends up at a net-zero as the rounding all cancels out.
