Bye Bye Banks and Wall Street

[Betty]

So - they just announced the new penny redesign on tv this morning. Like the new quarters, there will be different designs on the back of pennies - each reflecting a different part of Lincoln's life.

Now - no offense to the dead President, but why are we bothering spending any money to remake the penny design in this time of financial crisis? Frankly, even if we weren't, there was some discussion about getting rid of the penny. But now in the this time of our countries impending doom, wouldn't the money be better spent on something?
