  2. TBH, I doubt we'll get rid of them any time soon. The reality is that people carrying cash don't necessarily mind and everybody that's likely to care the most uses plastic. The people that use cash and hate pennies are not a very large lobby and unlikely to spend money trying to influence policy. Probably the only people that really want them gone would be retailers and people that are trying to eliminate government waste.

  3. I used to save the state quarters and only state quarters out of my change. Over the course of a few years they added up to several hundred dollars. Probably the best thing to do is get a little tool to wrap the coins for the bank. Policies obviously vary, but you're more likely to have them accept the coins if they're wrapped up.
