Cameron's Thoughts

Here's a recent pic of Hailey and Brett with my dad.

Not that I didn't already think this, but I was just reading this article at CNN.com, "Anti-penny push provokes passions" and I really truly believe pennies have to go sooner than later.

The big thing was this quote:

For the first time, the U.S. Mint has said pennies are costing more than 1 cent to make this year, thanks to higher metal prices.

I mean, what more does it take. A penny was just supposed to represent a certain value, not actually be valued at a penny. But, technically, a penny is worth more than a penny, since it cost more to make it than it's face value. Who likes them anyway? Is it just that people don't want to lose a tradition. They take up space and are more of a hassle to deal with then they are worth. Though, they do mention the idea of plastic pennies. If they are going to keep them, they might as well make them out of plastic.
