Currency Changes
Five cent coins to go the way of one and two cents.
Look, on the one hand, I agree – five cent coins are effectively worthless. On the other hand – if you’re making the smallest unit of currency the ten cent coin… Well, hell, why not go the whole way and eliminate cents altogether? Ten cent coins aren’t particularly useful either.

Supposedly pennies actually cost money to handle the useless things or something (not sure about the details). Worthless coins.
I've never understood why the half-dollar coin hasn't caught on. Maybe it will now that the half-dollar is far more useful than the frakking penny.
