Why does the penny exist exactly? It costs more than it's worth, most would pay with bills and not exact change anyway, and if I find a penny on the ground, I don't find it worth picking up. Why do we create something that will only be neglected?

so we can have coin flips.

Come to Belarus, we do not use coins at all.

then how do you settle the coin flip or pass time with friends by playing guess the side.

SO people can collect them.

A: Oh, look how rich I am! Thousands of Pennies! (dont know the plural of Penny lol)
B: Dude, you got only 30 dollars.
A: ..... shut up!

i collect them so i can pelt my brothers with them.
I have like a jar full that i store them in then i take the jar and throw the coins at them until they leave or tell me what they came for.

Like that?

I am millioner, I have 2 millions rubles

One thing I don't like about Europe is the Euro. Why do those people like coins so much? Then again, it's a good way to keep the public from sneaking up on each other. If one tries, the jingling from those stupid coins will give him away.

I might go to Belarus in the future as a part of a world tour I hope to go on before I die. Who knows, maybe I'll stay there.

With your government's boarder policy, that might be a bit difficult. However, I did look up the exchange rate. 1p, the lowest denomination of the pound, can get me 270 rubles according to Google and your lowest denomination of currency is 1 ruble. How is your currency that worthless?

Money is an arbitrary measure of arbitrary wealth.

for a real measure of wealth you need to have cows or wives

Nowadays, you can get a wife who doubles as a cow.
