US Penny: Is a shame to follow Malaysia?

This evening i watched documentary called "60 minutes"on Awani that talking about US Penny.
What is Penny?
Penny is The United States one-cent coin that equaling one one-hundredth of a United States dollar. Its obverse has featured the profile of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909, the centennial of his birth. (see picture)

Americans started to argue on why they still keeping them. By looking the cost, it's double than the value on it. Today, there are about USD80 millions worth of penny circulating in US but the cost is USD137 million dollars. How does the printing factory be able to cope with that since they are loosing it everyday? The country that upholds capitalism as their belief in economy can only interprete this kind of act as a nut! Don't they realize it? Or is there any hidden agenda behind this? Someone should digging the truth.
One of the reason they given was to help poor, a method of donation and welfare. You know what..it's really made me disgusting!. Came on.. is the cent that we donate? What happened the rest of billion paper money?

Salam ustaz, di sini saya juga ingin mencadangkan agar ustaz dapat mengupas mengenai isu pembelian rumah. Masih terdapat masalah bayaran ansuran dah dibuat tetapi rumah terbengkalai projeknya. Apakah pandangan Islam konsep beli rumah sekarang ini atau adakah kita perlu laksanakan segera konsep beli rumah yang siap bina?
