It now pays to pick the penny up ,while stepping over the dollar.

"Well, I highly doubt the government will let retailers go all willy nilly with prices. Last I checked, everyone had to follow laws. All I know is that is how the system is suppose to work when the penny is eliminated, and that is how it DOES work in countries that already did it."Um, the government has no real control over pricing? Companies will definitely price their product to bias the rounding in their favor...and the big companies will make a lot of money on it.

I do not think the penny is useless. Over a period of less than a week I've collected nearly 200 dollars in pennies I've found in my car, my house, and on the street. The penny is a staple of American Currency and to remove it would not seem right.
