I believe the penny should be eliminated because it costs too much. Each penny…

“That will be two dollars, ninety-nine cents, please.” For American consumers, this is a phrase heard quite often. The purchaser will proceed to pull three dollars out of their wallet to receive a shiny penny back.

On June 14, 1984, at the age of twelve, I moved to the United States of America in the hope and dream of becoming an American citizen in the “land of opportunity.” The transition from the Jamaican culture to the American culture was difficult to get accustomed to.
