Without someone telling me, I wouldn't have necessarily assumed this was unconstitutional.

I also wasn't aware that the constitution specified that pennies need to exist. I can totally understand if getting rid of pennies takes a bit more work than an edict by a president, but then that needs to be done. It's still a sensible thing to do.

I don’t think they are killing the penny just stop making them for a while.
