The Government Has No Plan for America’s 300 Billion Pennies

In Australia we got rid of our 1c and 2c coins more than 20 years ago.

I've already seen a lighter version of this level of madness when G. W. Bush was re-elected, but at the time I was quite young and more permeable to the concerted propaganda. This time around is just funny, to say the truth.

I miss the time when media could at least try to keep up with the appearance of some neutrality.

When the European Central Bank announced a new design for the euro bills nobody in my country really cared anymore because most payments are electronic. The danger to that ofcourse is that you risk overspending but retailers approve.

Reporters et al always want 'a plan,' which is ironic because they have problems planning more than a week in advance.
