1.Most kids like them, collect them, play with them.
And we all know that if there are no cents kinds will refuse to like, collect or play with nickels.
2. One of the most commonly used coins for wishing wells.
Without cents the most commonly used coin will be nickels, most likely resulting in an increase in income for the charities.
3. Many Zoos and Museums have machines that turn them into trinkets for kids.
Of course even though they aren't in circulation the sheer number available would allow the zoos and museums to supply cents for the machines (at say three for a nickel?) and get a little more profit.
4.Great to use for a tip with a waitress that gives you poor service.
I have no argument on that one, but I've never had service THAT bad.
5. Banks need them to give you that real low rate on your savings accounts.
This is true, try keeping more than a dollar in savings.
6. Gives many people with little to do to have something to complain about.
Believe me they will have no problem finding something else.
7. Coin collecting companies that make Albums and Folders have to much invested in them to change.
8. To many songs that use the word Penny would have to be abandoned.
Why?
9. Most people in the USA are just to hard to make changes anyway so why bother. Remember the Metric System we were all going to be using in a few years?
Well maybe if we stop the cent and show them that is really IS possible to actually change how we do something, maybe we can finally get that switch to the metric system accomplished. Especially since it may have to be forced on them the same way. Once we prove to them the world doesn't end from dropping the cent, maybe adopting the metric system won't end it either.
