And I was going to say that we probably "lose" more than $38 in pennies over our lifetimes - that is, if you include all the coins we "lose" this way.

Well, I admit I hurriedly scanned the article, so didn't catch every nuance. But for two reasons, I wasn't at all surprised. One is that because of inflationary pressures, which have continued throughout the Bush admin. and will get much worse during Obama's, pennies have become almost worthless in terms of real buying power. Second is that because of the radical decisions already made by Pres. Obama, almost no news coming out of this admininstration will surprise. I’m NOT embarrassed to admit that you got me — totally.

The reason is that so many fall out of circulation, and so many are bought as proof coins by collectors. I doubt we will see the end of the penny for a long time - though it certainly wouldn't bother me if we did.
