Even more sensible would be a total elimination of pennies. If we needed to track transactions to 1/100th of a dollar 100 years ago, and a dollar is worth around 1/20th of what it used to be, we should be rounding to the nearest 5 cents now. The cost of producing pennies is a huge waste of time and money.
