This is a button that allows you to give me money for no reason whatsoever. Why you would want to do this I have no idea. You will get absolutely nothing in return. But I certainly won't object if you do. Maybe if you bribe me enough you can sway my opinion or something. It works on Congress.

New Zealand abolished both pennies and nickels in their currency some time ago (their currency is like the British pound so they are worth even more that our pennies and nickels). They just programmed all cash registers to round to the nearest dime.
We should do the same but it will never happen because it is not a priority for Congress (the Tea Party would probably oppose it).
