So I was rifling through my change today and noticed something:



 
What happened to Lincoln Memorial?  
What bureaucrat with no cents of taste thought this was a worthy image for reverse face?  
I mean if your going to replace a snazzy architectural piece with the Union Shield why would they go with something that looks like it came in a $15 clipart pack purchased at Staples, instead of one being ridden by a pissed off eagle with a talon full of barbed arrows?

Omg, yeah that's a terrible design.  Looks like something someone drew in 8 seconds.

My favorite American coin design is still this.


That's right ****es, eagles can breathe in space!
And are 600km tall!

[Whitelight]

Yeah, it cost more to make a penny than they are worth. Which is probably why its cheezy 
Also noticed they have re-done every coin but the dime, as far as i can tell. My wife says its because dimes are so small. hehe.  No im not laughing at you (wife). Any way, no pun intended..
 

[Klaustrophobia]

its probably cheaper to manufacture. 

and for my money, the morgan dollar is the best coin design we've had.

They should get rid of pennies. Not worth it.

[SpardaSon21]

And how will you give change back if it cannot be multiplied by five?

[Kosh]

Adjusting the price system into multiples of 5 would be art of the process of getting rid of pennies.

I hear France did it yeeeeears ago.

and then we have the same problem, with nickels instead.  there's always going to be a bottom rung.

So in other words everyone pays between a cent and 4 cents more for everything.

[Kosh]

You live in a country that did just that a while ago.

[karajorma]

When did China do that?

I've never even seen anything you can buy with a fen.

Quite a while ago. It used to have a pricing system like the US, but changed it so the fen piece is no longer useful. Occationally you'll still find them, but they aren't made anymore.

They can have my pennies when they pry them from my cold, dead jeans pockets.

Meanwhile, I don't even bother with notes.
If it ain't electronically available via chip'n'pin I just don't wanna do it.

Doubley, it means I'm virtually unrobbable, since my money is kept in an account that cannot be accessed by anything other than my internet banking and can only be moved onto my card account, which can only be used via my card.
Mwahaha.

nope but you are just as vulnerable to being hacked, and not to long ago in the UK Northern Rock was hacked for a notable (to the public) amount of money

Sorry to burst your My Little Pony bubble but unicorns don't exist.

I hear France did it yeeeeears ago.

We (the Dutch) actually stopped doing it when the euro was introduced. We hated it, and then all the shopkeepers changed every price to multiplies of 5 again .
