"Happiness"

Whoever came up with this marketing scheme must have gone through a really cheap course to monetize an idea.

Does the trick in a country where all values are measured by money.

And in a country where people are having to pinch pennies because the billionaires need to pay no taxes.

And there has been talk of ceasing to mint pennies for years now because of the expense.

I read that. Can’t remember the last time I needed a penny.

We frequently give exact change to cashiers. Frequently, they are stunned.

You stun them with exact change? Precisely how do you strike them with it?

Good question…

Change first, bills second. I don't even pull out a bill at first so they won't be able to anticipate what ones I may use.

So no tossing coins in the face?? Good thing…

Stunning...

It helps maintain my geezer street cred.

I did not know you cared about such things...

In California, due to sales tax, you often need a penny or more, that is if you are paying in cash. The use of a debit or credit card eliminates the need for pennies. I have a small dish full of them!! I originally started the dish of pennies when the grandkids were little but kept it up longer than necessary!! They are no longer little & at least two of them have more money than I do!!!

I wonder if pennys like the wheat penny are still valuable to collectors.

Haven't a clue @Katherine Bond.
