The problem is they are using expensive metal for the coin. The Japanese 1yen coin (worth less then the penny) is still around. They almost feel like they are made of plastic.
I say, redesign the penny so that it is a lighter and cheaper to make coin.

if you redesign the penny with a "plastic" type material, would you have to redesign all the change receptacles and counting machinges to "read" the plastic material?
