    It costs 1.8¢ to make a penny. Derp.

    Pennies can go.

    Some say the dollar bill's future is limited too. Although it's wildly unpopular, it would save millions to go to dollar coins exclusively.

    tl;dw

    But yeah those things are useless. Get rid of it and make all prices a multiple of .10 or .05

    I could actually do without nickels too.

    This would be fantastic, but I don't see it happening for a long time.

    Think off the sales tax increase. They sure are not going to round down.

    Round to the nearest .05¢. What would normally be $1.01 or $1.02 would be $1.00, and what was normally $1.03 or $1.04 would be $1.05. It would even itself out.

    And that isn't a rational fear as other countries that have gotten rid of their one cent coins haven't seen prices rise.

    Correct. It even mentioned this in the video.

    I use dollar coins whenever possible. I'd be more than happy to see the $1 bill go away.
