Back in ye olde days when tap dancing was a hip big-city youth culture thing and many of the youths couldn't afford tap shoes, people used to use bottlecaps for that. (Of course, this was also in ye olde days when all bottlecaps were metal and needed a bottle opener.)

Alternatively, you can just round the cents up/down. i.e. round $3.28 to $3.30. you know, like the civilised world.

How Rude posted:Pennies are helpful for if you have an oddly priced item on clearance or sale. $3.28 as an example. I haaaaaate seeing price tags like that with a burning passion because all it means to me is that I'm going to be carrying pennies afterwards that I won't be able to do anything with for a really long time. Prices should just round off to a 5 or a 0.

I want them to phase out nickels next, I'm sick of those loving things. I wish they'd gotten rid of them before they did pennies. More volume than a quarter but a fifth the value? Sign me the gently caress up, said a goddamn idiot.

There are many arguments for and against keeping the penny, please don't refer to "Americans" as a monolithic hive mind. We may be fatter than some, but we're not yet a single lard-conjoined entity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_debate_in_the_United_States Or make yourself this not-stupid ring!

Where the gently caress in America were you that you couldn't use credit?  Even the street vendors where I work can take credit. If you were in any even remotely major city, you'd be able to use credit no problem! If you weren't in a major city, then I'm sorry. My favorite life-hack is just using my bank card to pay for poo poo. Who wants to carry cash around? Certainly not me!

Oh you silly people complaining about pennies. The three lowest coins we have in my country are worth respectively 0.001 dollar(useless), 0.01 dollar(kind of useless) and 0.09 dollar(just barely useful). Medieval Medic has a new favorite as of 15:09 on Sep 12, 2014 |

I'm in the Czech Republic right now and they're awesome because they only have Kronen. 25-30 Kronen = 1 Euro. So 1 Krone is enough for small change, and for everything bigger, you just use bills. I want 1-5 Eurocents to be abolished, gently caress em.

So 1 Krone is enough for small change, and for everything bigger, you just use bills. I want 1-5 Eurocents to be abolished, gently caress em. I always come back from CZ with a bunch of small change. You're right that 1 koruna is actually almost useful, compared to a penny in the US anyway. I have a ton of 1 and 2 Kć coins and they are still useless though. They do still have a subdivision of the koruna though, and you can occasionally find coins in that range, but basically everyone ignores them, at least in Brno.
