Should we get rid of the 1p and 2p coins?



Anyone remember the days when 2p charidee coin push was trendy in pubs?

Stack em up to about 2ft high then push them into a bucket or some such container.
 
£1 shops are your prime example of when 1p and 2p are just not wanted.
Everything's a pound (virtually) - makes it easier for everyone involved
 
I wonder how much money it would save shops in cash processing fees

Having had to sit by a counting machine to process donations I can tell you that it takes a shitload of time for all the copper to come through compared to other denominations
It's bloody heavy too
 
this thread highlights why we shouldn't have socialist policies like the NHS. some people pay, the others don't bother. as a country we're too selfish to have stuff like the NHS. the only way it would work would be a fully authoritarian system, and nobody wants that.
 
I fake 20s me. I do two and a half at a time to make it to fifty.

I would say I get away with it about two thirds of the time.
Eddie: Those are the Queen's jugs.
Richie: What?
Eddie: They're the Queen's jugs.
Richie: Eddie! A: The queen doesn't have jugs, she's royalty! B: If she did, she certainly wouldn't get 'em out on the back of a fiver. Certainly not! She'd save 'em up for the fifty!
Eddie: Well, if you care to have a look at my fifty, you may find it a mite more risque.
[Richie glances at the note and displays a look of alarm and disgust.]
Richie: That's disgusting!
Eddie: Yeah, I know!
Richie: Eddie, that's tantamount to treason! How can you expect to pass off these pornographic doodles as real money?! Especially when you see whaT the Duke of Edinburgh's up to on the back of a tenner!(glances at the note) Who's that with him?
Eddie: Meryl Streep.
Richie: (reacts pervertedly) Hang on, she's got three knockers
