Yes Penny

  • Prices go up because everything will get rounded up, not down.
  • Poor people make more small purchases and so will be burdened most heavily.
  • Lots of little charities rely on people's willingness to give away pennies.
  • No pennies means more nickels.  They cost more to make than pennies.
  • Nostalgia. Sentimentality. Change is hard (no pun intended.)
  • Lincoln.
