Der er et West Wing-afsnit, hvor dette er én af historierne. Så vidt jeg husker er det Sam, der konfronteres med deres meningsløshed.

Wikipedia er også med på bølgen:
"The physical handling and counting of pennies creates transaction costs that may be higher than a penny per penny spent. Furthermore, as has been claimed for micropayments, due to mental transaction costs one cent may exceed the useful price granularity of almost all products and services sold over the counter—granularities of five or ten cents may be sufficient. Also, inflation periodically causes the metal value of pennies to exceed their face value, making them wasteful to mint."
