Kill-the-penny bill introduced: "Representative Jim Kolbe (R-Arizona) on Tuesday unveiled details of legislation to eliminate the penny. The move is in reaction to the rising cost of zinc - the penny's main ingredient - which at current prices brings the cost of making the coin to 1.4 cents each."
Do they think that killing the penny is really a good use of their time. With all that is going on in the world now. Besides what would I do with my penny jar!
