I think the announcement from President Trump is actually meant to get people to start hoarding Pennies... Because of the 100 to 1 Exchange Rate away from Fiat USD's, our One Cent Coins will increase 100 Fold in Spending Power... More than likely, "We the People" will be returning to the use of Copper Pennies since One Pound of Copper will only cost about 5 Cents... Don't forget that we will be adding 99 Decimal Cents to our Electronic Dollars and Cents, in order to be able to "make change" for One Cent Coins and One Cent Silver Certificates... In other words, this will end up being the Death of the Copper Coated Zinc Pennies, not the One Cent Coins themselves... Our One Cent Silver Certificates may be used more often than our One Cent Coins, so it is possible to that we will Mint less Pennies than we're minting now, but I don't think we'll stop issuing One Cent Coins... And we won't be rounding off to the nearest Nickel... Not since our Electronic Coinage will be denominated in Dollars, Cents and 99 Decimal Cents...
