People think about this issues on a personal basis... the change they get or an item they buy. That is too narrow.
Certain types of products and services use pennies and even factions of them as a denomination for a certain amount of product... on a large basis.
It is buried in every system (electronic or otherwise) that deals with money around the world.
If the government did decide to stop minting pennies, it would still exist electronically.
It will be around longer than any of us (boomers).
