Should the U.S. get rid of the Penny?

I say we make a 1/10 of a cent coin, so I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off when I pay 3.09 and 9/10 of a cent for a gallon of gas.

I think it's time to round gas prices too.

I never really use pennies, but I see no need to get rid of them.

Well, it's been introduced in Congress again. And has the same chance as a snowball in New Orleans. One day, it will make sense to drop pennies and nickels and just go with tenths of a dollar instead of hundredths. But then the quarter would go away, too. On the bright side, all those Susan Bs would actually become useable.
