Can we do away with pennies already?

Imagine how much time, energy and space we could save by simply eliminating pennies? Can someone explain the reasoning behind not eliminating pennies and making the smallest coin the nickel?

Is it true that the value of the commodity copper is currently worth more by weight than what a penny is worth as currency or not?  Just seems like such a waste of time.

Here’s an idea- Instead of wasting time legislating whether or not bake sales in schools should be allowed, why not legislate pennies out of use and make things more efficient for commerce.
