Just read a business article that pennies are going to be phased out of production. The article said that businesses will eventually have to round up or down to the nearest five cents. But didn't Benjamin Franklin say a penny saved is a penny earned? 😀

I didn't see that post Bob. Thanks. You have a good memory. Wasn't there a saying, a penny for someone's thoughts or something like that? 😀

Start collecting them now.   Once they are no longer around they could climb in value to be worth 2 or 3 cents😁

@IRonMaN I still have my Lincoln Wheat Penny collection in the blue folders that my dad gave to me, and that my grandfather gave to my dad. The value hasn't changed much. They made so many pennies that they're not rare, and therefore not very valuable.

I hope this does not mean the cost of fireball is going up.

Aww, no more "See a penny pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck"?

In honor of Ben Franklin, Intuit will be rounding next year’s price increase for ProSeries to the next highest $100.

Don't go giving them any new ideas on how to raise prices 😬
