Keep the pennies, in the past you could go to stores and buy candies for a penny.

In the past, people also made less money.
 
You can't even use pennies in some machines (I don't know which one).

How much money will people gain or lose if we're going to round things by the nickel?

That's why I mentioned that it is pointless; it would cause an unnecessary infrastructure change issue, another problem we don't need in the US. It's kinda like converting us here from the English to the Metric system.

Why would it have to be that much of a hassle? Canada got rid of their penny without much fuss and bother.
 
I don't know I'm not educated on this
 
My thought process on this is that if the currency is base-10 and $1 (100 cents) then the most basic value (1 cent) should be available. If it costs too much in materials then make it out of something else; it wouldn't be the first time the metal used in coins changed.

The problem is that we're running out of stuff to make pennies out of. Copper is way too valuable for pennies now, and zinc is getting pretty close to topping the value too, so basically all that's left is aluminum. (recyclable pennies?)
