Hell yes, I toss out every penny I see. There's a ton in my car that other people put there and they vibrate obnoxiously when I have my music playing.
F'in pennies, useless.

Yes -- only government would round up...
The local walmart would have to take something from 19.99 to 19.95 -- no way are they going to say 20.00.

absolutly not.
if everything would be rounded up, that would be less money in my pocket.
think about it this way, if you on average make more then 1000 transactions a year and would have lost 3 cents on average, that is three dollars i think

No, businesses would just round everything up. Besides, I barely use cash.
