They’ve put in their two cents: The majority of Americans oppose abolishing the penny according to a Harris Poll released Tuesday. Indeed, 51 percent of us want to keep the little coin, though some have more affection for it than others. Six-out-of-10 conservatives, for instance, want to keep the penny in circulation, as opposed to 49 percent of moderates and 47 percent of liberals.
There’s a gender divide also: 57 percent of women favor the penny coin - along with 44 percent of men.
