One time I was in Krogers and saw a man buying 6 onions with nickels, dimes, pennies. He took a long time but he bought his onions.

I personally don't care one way or another but those who miss the penny the most, won't likely get a voice.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying getting rid of the penny would hurt poor people?

Yeah pretty much. Most of the poor are unbanked and every penny counts.
