Restore the penny.
Calling pennies “wasteful” skips the real question:
Have we ever opened production to competitive bidding?
No. We treat inefficiency as fate instead of a solvable design flaw.
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.
South Korea has seen 25% of bank, insurance, and securities branches close since 2020, raising concerns over financial access, especially in low-income areas, despite regulatory efforts to slow the trend.

Cannot believe how useless #BarclaysUK are. There's no way they can say they're a global institution. Firstly, they cannot contact me in Uganda after I tried to contact them repeatedly to no avail. Why? Secondly, they then make a massive error and send my new PIN to the wrong address and now can't send me out another one here. So can't get a new bank card. And it comes after A YEAR of problems with them trying to access my money in UK and after I even struggled to open up an account in the first place. DO NOT bank with #Barclays unless you have to #banks #UK #UKbanks #globalbanks #banking #financialaccess
