god forbid if a seldom used coin gets retired. If only there was some other form of US currency that had his face on it to carry on his legacy

I'm European and didn't even realize this. Now I find the content ten times as hilarious.

Anybody interested in learning more about the uselessness of the penny and nickel, and just generally get smart in general, I'd suggest watching videos by vlogbrothers and scishow, or pretty much anything brothers John and Hank Green make. They update often and they're very interesting. Friendly tip to all :)

Pennies are worth 1 cent but cost two to make them. It's smart. Besides, he's on the five dollar bill anyways.

People say if your half black, you're all black. Fun fact: Mixed people were treated the worst during segregation. (or so I've heard) People call me black, even though I'm super pale for a black person.

which means that he is 50% blacker than any other president to serve before him.

Wouldn't he be like any range of numbers blacker? I can be 1% blacker than a black dude, or I can be 1000% blacker than a black dude, right? If obama is 50% blacker than a white man, that means he is 150% percent as black as a white man, which means that the white man has to also be some black. As you know, 150% of 0 is 0.

Well, he's not 50% blacker, he's just 50% black.
50% blacker would imply a preceding president was at least thirty-three and a third percent black.
So he's infinitely times as black.
I dunno.

But if you round up he's full white.

Because in North America the term coloured is extremely rude
yet in Africa it is rude to call a coloured person black, but hey.

I don't think the penny is useless. If we got rid of the penny we'd have to restructure the pricing of everything. For example we couldn't sell stuff at $1.99 anymore, as the change would be uneven. Even if we change the pricing so that everything ends in a 0 or a 5, we'd have to account for tax.

The smallest coin in my country is 10c, and everything is still X dollars and 99 cents.
The stores just round the total up or down.

Dude, we got an entire building dedicated to a large than life statue of him that will last for thousands of years. What ever advanced civilization that comes a long after we die will think we worshiped Lincoln as a god, taking away a pointless denomination doesn't matter.

But, but ,but...but without it we won't be able to pay 99 cents instead of a dollar for things.

Well, do you honestly want to have a coin whose value is not at a 5 or 0 interval?

I think they should take the nickel too. I honestly find any change under a quarter completely useless. I think most people would throw pennies in the garbage if it were socially acceptable. When they start to phase them out they should make recycle bin-like collection cans people can throw them in for charity.

A) Obama's only half black
B) The half that is black isn't even African American.

if it's any consolation it took until the dollar became so inflated a penny was useless before a brother got into office
