Time to kill off the penny?
 

I thought this was pretty interesting.

In May, the U.S. Mint informed Congress that the cost of making a penny and a nickel will soon exceed the actual value of each coin. Thanks to the high cost of materials that go into the making of the coins -- zinc, copper and nickel -- the Mint estimates that by the end of the fiscal year, the cost of producing one penny will come to around 1.23 cents, and the cost of making a nickel will be 5.73 cents.

You can't get anything for a penny anyhow. :p

Maybe I should drop 1¢.com? You'd be surprised at the amount of ads for the keyword 'penny' though.

Well, for me, 1¢.com has not made 1¢ (red or otherwise) but I like it anyway. Silly.

50¢.com was sold on afternic about 5 months ago for $500.
