I think they should keep pennies because if they don’t then the things that you buy will cost more. -Isabel

You should keep the penny because Abraham Lincoln is on it. -Griffin

I agree with Griffin because Abraham Lincoln was really important to America and slaves. -Emily

We should keep pennies because if Abraham Lincoln wasn’t around then slaves would still be around and that’s bad. It would make it harder for children and teachers to think and teach because then you couldn’t promise the class you would do something with pennies. -Jakub

I think we should keep our pennies because in stores it would cost more. It wouldn’t be fair to us because it would cost less for them and more for us. -Sherry

If we didn’t have pennies, where would all that metal go? -Noah

I think we should keep pennies because then I wouldn’t be able to spend the right amount. -Brooke

I think the penny should be kept because it is historical we made it in dedication for Abraham Lincoln because he has done so much for the nation, but at the same time it should be gone because it takes more money to made it than it is actually worth. The penny had been in the economy for many years and has benefited the economy in many ways as well as not benefited it.

Only good reason to make penny and nickel is for selling to coin collectors and dealers. Since selling pennies and nickels to coin collectors or coin dealers will make money by sale. Only should mint sets and proof sets should have penny and nickel!
