External Links

Here are some other places where you can find information and opinion both for and against the elimination of the penny.

• Citizens for Retiring the Penny
• Americans for Common Cents
• Efforts to Eliminate the Penny in the United States (Wikipedia)
• Time to Eliminate the Penny from the U.S. Coinage System (PDF)

Many of these pages have their own pages of external links either to information about the proposed legislation that would eliminate the penny or to other sites that have more detailed information.  The last link is to a scholarly article by Robert Whaples of the Wall Street Journal.  I make no claim to be an economics expert, but he does, so I'll trust him.
