GWB, aren't there countries where the penny is actually obsolete, both in pricing and (obviously following suit) physical presence? Most of you know why I posted the picture of Samir above. I guess i'm kinda split too, i'm not near as in touch with finances as someone such as GWB is, but the actual physical penny I feel is pretty worthless.

Another interesting note, how much longer do you guys think it is before nobody uses physical money anymore and everything goes to plastic? Anybody think there will be a universal monetary system in the future? "Credits"?

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
