I have read several articles about doing away with the US penny, one cent, copper etc. Yeah, so I realize that all cash registers could use that extra slot for the new US one dollar coin, Sacajawea , Susan B. Anthony and now all the President's dollar coins. Well, it ain't gonna to happen so long as the government continues to spew out paper dollars. They last for such a short time period that it is cheaper to mint dollar coins, unless, yeah unless, they quit making paper dollars and force the public and industries with coin-o-mats to convert. And, all the gas stations.
And besides, I have a bigger complaint. Think of all the tenth of a penny that we are being overcharged by these gas stations that charge $3.15 9/10 per gallon. If we buy three gallons of gas, the charge should be $9.477. So they make us pay $9.48. Who gets that extra 3/10? I want that back, it is mine! Unless, all pumps are rounded up to a full cent and charged us $3.16. That is what we are paying anyway. New gas stations would save on one slot for each pump and the signs couldn't be sued for false advertising. And, that would make room for the meters to show $148.18 since there is no room to show purchase over $99.999. Can't wait to pay that much for gas!
