Petition Phase out the minting of the 1p & 2p coin; the bane of our pockets, and lives.

It's worth a twelfth of it's value compared to 1971. There are 11.27 billion pennies, and 6.5 billion 2ps, nestled in commiseration in our receipts when at the shops. Traders complain of the cost of storage for such a mass. Is it still necessary for these copper cop-outs to burden our back pockets?
