I’m left wondering what the opportunity cost of watching that rant were.

The solution is to either revalue American currency or get rid of the penny and start making nickles the size of pennies and out of steel or some cheap, durable alloy.

Did you know nickle is a horrible carcinogen.

My bet is the opportunity cost is less than the cost of pennies in the macro economic view!

No, I didn’t know that about nickel, I now dislike nickels even more.

Meanwhile, I think we’d do better to simply nuke all currency less than $1…

I started a petition to abolish the penny and I need support. I am trying to get ten million people to sign. Will you sign and spread the word? 🙂 Thank you for your time!
