We haven't had the 1 or 2 cent coins since the late '80s, early '90s. You can live without them no problems.

Bored.Clicked on "Last Page" and scrolled to the oldest post. This is what came up. With the production of the penny being stopped recently it is kind of neat that this was the oldest post (3 1/2 years old).
