That's right there is a lobby. They spend about $200,000 per year but typically less than that. They sure get their money's worth! It's not the mint but a factory in Greeneville, TN that makes the penny blanks. This factory generates pure profits of $1,000,000 per month but typically more. It is owned by a shadowy NY financial institution and protected by the steel worker's union for good measure. Fact: the penny is here to stay. Forever.

There's no mention in this video of why the penny hasn't been abolished. There must be some lobby or special interest that benefits from this and prevents the mint from doing anything about it. It can't be as simple as merely doing away with the coin.


Actually there is a mention, when he said that pennies today are produced with 95% Zinc.

You guessed it. The Zinc producers of America are the principle force lobbying congress to continue to produce pennies. They even have a website: http://www.pennies.org/

Haha, interesting. Of course you realize, I must assume that because you admit you are a lazy programmer, this might not even be a comment by you, it might be some sort of sophisticated videosifting AI. (Not the lame kind like siftbot...)

I submit exhibit A: (a quote from your program.) "You: do you video sift?
Ariane: Yes I try to video sift as often as possible, do you?"

In reply to this comment by Peroxide:
I for one, would like to hear from a programmer who know the more intimate details of cleverbot's program.

For instance, the male lies calling himself a unicorn, and the female challenges his fib. Why? Are they programed to make minor mistakes/ not be entirely logical? What is the philosophy behind their programming...


As someone who has programmed a chatbot (not cleverbot, but one based on ALICE, mine can be found here) I can answer that for you.

The philosophy behind their programming is that it would take years of complicated programming to make them sound even remotely logical, and we are way too lazy to do that much work.
