Is it time to get rid of Lincoln?

Sweet sir!

I would like to keep the penny for reasons of precision. 1 is a beautiful number.

a lot of countries have their unitary smallest interger coin both very tiny and made of aluminum/magnesium with a very thin shiny veneer of something also cheap. But their value is so small merchants will not even deal in them. It makes a nice collector's item, though.
 
At any rate, I wish the one dollar coin would become better utilized - it probably wastes about as much money to print paper dollars as it does to mint pennies. I know it'd be cost effective to use a coin for $1 rather than paper currency.
Something else Australia did many years ago - we got rid of the $1 and $2 notes and replaced them with coins. Although we are still a Constitutional Monarchy with the English Monarch as our Head of State rather than an independent Republic, and as a result it is apparently law that our lowest-denomination note must have a picture of the ruling monarch on it, so we also got a new $5 note as well with Liz Windsor on it.

A two-cent coin would be great. A lot of people would use it to give their two-cents' worth.
Here ya go:

One is the loneliest number, worse than two.
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know.
It's just no good anymore since she went away.
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday.
I learned about one and two from three dogs at night.

3 is a crowd...and
3 is company too.
 
I am in agreement as well. Get rid of the penny. See, we CAN all agree on something...regardless of political affiliation.
