Restore the penny.
Calling pennies “wasteful” skips the real question:
Have we ever opened production to competitive bidding?

Eliminating the smallest monetary unit punishes cash users — often the people who live with the highest precision and the narrowest margins.
Don’t remove precision. Modernize production.

What does it take to develop a brand-new, nationally recognized currency? And how do we ensure no portion of the population gets left behind in the adoption of this new currency? Follow along and learn how Nigeria did precisely that through the introduction of the eNaira. This case study will cover the key design principles, economic objectives, and the anticipated (and realized) benefits of creating a digital currency for all of Nigeria.
