Does anyone think that pennies should stop being produced?

Maybe in the 1950's a kid can go buy a piece of candy for a nickel or five pennies but now it literally seems as if pennies are just there just to be there. Maybe it would be better if their production stopped and those materials are put to a better use. Just my thoughts. What do you guys think?

In AU we stopped using copper coins (1c and 2c pieces) at the start of this century, we had the $1 and $2 note until 1985 now they are gold coins.
It does make pricing a lot easier rounding to the nearest 5c but it did jack prices up prices and cost of living. Now they are taking about phasing out the 5c coins.
