In the article, "The Penny Debate," written by Susan Deadley, briefly describes the detailed facts on how some countrys', such as Canada and the US are thinking of getting rid of the penny.
Susan Deadley does a fantastic job of explaining the plan. There are both good and bad sides to the penny. One could be rusty, and the other could be shiny. (just kidding). It is proved that the poor will get poorer, because they may collect pennies to buy themselves food, and people don't usually drop nickels or dimes. Pennies are also great for fundraisers, penny horses, collecting, and giving people good luck. ;) (see a penny, pick it up, and all day long, you will have good luck!) The penny is perfect for those little kids. The penny horse cant be the nickel horse! PLUS, nickels cost even MORE to make. Pennies cost 1. 26 to make, nickels cost 7.7 to make. And, LINCOLN is on the penny! Where will he go if they get rid of the penny??? On the million? That means getting rid of the statue of liberty. I strongly think the penny should be continued to be used. Maybe they could just make less of them.
