Why does America still use the penny? Senator asks Elon Musk to do something about it
Briefly

"The government is losing money making money, paying more than three cents to produce a penny and more than 11 cents for a nickel... that makes no cents when simply changing the composition of the coins could save more than $50 million a year."
"We don't want any of these discussions to lead to a conversation about penny elimination, because that, quite frankly, won't save money."
