how many pennies do you make per minute?
$Zero
if you could hear each penny drop into a bucket as you "earn" them,
what would it sound like?
for moi?
it would be very quiet most of the time.

If I'm salaried, do I earn them for 8 hours a day, or 24?
$Zero
you earn them for every second you spend earning them.

Get rid of the clunky nickel while you're at it. The diminutive dime
is the perfect entry level coin. A dime today is probably worth less
than a penny in 1950.
Getting rid of the penny was an idea put forth years ago by a friend
of mine (yes, I actually have a few friends) in RL. He wanted to get
rid of the dollar bill, too, but that would go too far, I think.

Instead of that, why don't we issue "new dollars" worth 10 old
dollars, new dimes worth one old dollar, and so on.

We brought back some souvenirs including three Zimbabwe$50 billion notes.
In June, the first time we passed through Zimbabwe, a US$ was worth
Zimbabwe$15 billion. When we passed through again on the way home in
July, less than three weeks later, a US$ was worth Zimbabwe$50 billion.
The neatest trick the Zimbabwean government cooked up (in addition to
the outrageous inflation factor) was that our Zimbabwe$50 million note,
which had been printed in May 2008, expired in December 2008.
Come January 2009, our Zimbabwe$50 million note will not be legal tender.
