A Cycle of Inefficient Attack

While the pursuit of efficiency is certainly admirable, the scapegoating of a national norm, the penny, is entirely superfluous, let alone efficient, as it is merely a reflection of the human propensity for creating and attacking an external cause for wasted time, for personal failings, which here spawns a process that is, in fact, even more wasteful. But the elimination of the penny would not only be wasteful, but entirely repetitive, as it would make the nickel the lowest denomination of currency, leaving it in a position for future attack over its inefficiency--the cycle beginning once more, the national argument for naught.

Document B: In which the exact time for a cashier transaction using the penny is measured, down to the exact second and the total of additional time due to the penny is shown to approximate at about 4 hours a year. In a year of 8765 hours, this seems hardly taxing, hardly problematic. The true wasted time lies in the creation of such inconsequential statistics. 

Document E: This reveals the true national indecision over an issue constituents would have you believe was impending, was passionately shared by the masses. Many are opposed, or simply undecided which raises the question: are scholars like Gore actually rectifying and returning a nation's "wasted time" when said nation either either doesn't even notice this time gone or doesn't even care to get back. 

Document C: It is simply impossible to eliminate any and all low denominator coins, as the document claims other nations have-- the remaining nickel will simply assume the role. The goal seems to be the invocation of a sense of international competition that could surely play out on a more productive level.
