I use debit or credit everywhere I go, and when I spend cash I almost never count out the change.

I'd be alright with tossing the penny.

All of mine end up going to Sul Ross. At A&M a former school president, Sul Ross, would tutor students for pennies and because of that around exam times people will go and leave pennies on Sul Ross's statue, so I have a few jars of pennies that go there come finals.

Edit - Why do we need the penny? It seems to me like it's only around thanks to 14.99 pricing instead of 15.00, and if you factor in taxes around 10% or so there wouldn't be a need for pennies, and when you're making big transactions you generally don't pay for it in physical cash, you wire the money via banks.
