Most days there is a panhandler on the median at the left turn from Braker to southbound Burnet. Today there wasn’t a panhandler so I noticed that there were pennies scattered all over the median. I kinda assume that people end up giving random change from purchases to the panhandlers and the panhandlers dump the pennies because it takes too much time to collect enough to be worth something. This reminded me of a conversation I had with some friends about the movement to phase out the penny. I also think the nickel should go and added both to my platform for my campaign for President in 2020.
