LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

It makes cents for America to stop minting pennies

Does the federal government ever save money or just spend it?

How about this: Stop making pennies. OK, so we pay $3 for gas instead of $2.99.

Also, stop making one-dollar paper currency that on average lasts four years while one-dollar coins last for decades.

Additionally, stop Saturday mail delivery. The United States Postal Service just posted an $8.5 billion dollar loss.

Note: Canada does not have one-dollar paper currency or Saturday mail delivery.
