U.S. Government considers eliminating penny

Are you a penny saver?

One of those people who can't resist picking pennies up off the ground, or who has a large jar of them sitting around the house?

There's a chance your pennies won't be worth much in the future. The U.S. government is considering eliminating use of the coin due to the cost of production (it costs 1.4 cents to make a single penny).
