Hello reader,


For my year round school project I have to choose a problem in the world and have to come up with a solution. Through this project I have had to take notes, write an essay, petition, make an action plan, and finish with a presentation. This is obviously the petition part and hope fully you can sign this to help me out. I am for removing the penny.


Below I will include my essay and shortened bullet point version to people who don't want to read a lot.


Penny is useless because

-Costs more than its value to produce

-Millions in losses for the US Mint

-Becoming out of date


That is very short and here is my full essay if you would like to read it. (Copy and paste link)

Hopefully I have convinced you to sign my petition. My goal is to get 1,000 signatures with this website (first time using it) Thanks for your time!

The momentum behind this is incredible. It is clear that I am definitely not the only person tired of useless pennies.

My jar at home is literally overflowing with these things and they are basically worthless anyway.
