This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Closed petition Abolish the British Penny and Two Pence Coins.
Closed on
British copper coins, especially the penny, have virtually no value in society today. It is time for them to be withdrawn as legal tender.
They weigh heavily in our pockets and purses and are increasingly becoming a nuisance, rather than an asset, as legal tender. Time to withdraw them from circulation.
