Nickel for your Thoughts

The penny has come to an end.  The US will no longer produce the cent because it costs much more than it is worth.  To mint a penny costs nearly 4 cents.  Clearly, this is just throwing money away.  However, this will make some expressions inexplicable to future generations.
  • Penny for your thoughts
  • My two cents
  • Bad penny
  • Pretty penny
  • Penny pincher
  • A red cent
  • A penny saved is a penny earned
Rounding to the nearest nickel for change will be an interesting change.  Will that become a penalty for paying cash; always round UP to the nearest nickel?
