Trump going to Baltimore this evening to speak at a Republican retreat dinner. The Donald's first visit since tweeting Baltimore was a rat and rodent infested mess a few weeks ago in late July.

Trump in Baltimore at a GOP retreat dinner? I'd not be surprised to hear his personal food taster scheduled this as his personal day off well in advance.
I wonder if the Rat Chef will be brought in to serve his appropriate cuisine to the esteemed guest tonight?

once I was so broke I bought a large pizza with a few dollars, quarters, nickels, dimes and a few dollars worth of pennies. I set it up a on a table in dollar piles, the delivery guy took one look at it, was shocked, and put it all in his pouch without counting it, I did not tip him.

Obama was going to get rid of the penny in the past. It should just be gotten rid of already. There's really no point in them. They cost more to make than they're worth.

Probably because the penny is becoming an increasingly worthless piece of currency that isn't even worth the materials it's made from.

The idea of having a currency denominated in cents and it not being possible to have one cent feels weird to me.

The Eurozone has implemented optional rounding to cut down circulation of our shitty little copper coins, but they are still in circulation.
