but if we abolish the penny, then stores are gonna start rounding prices to 5c and the nickel will effectively become the new penny!

They cost too much to make (not as of right now but like you said, in the future, inflation results in lower currency value while costs of metals maintain or increase. I think if we saved all the metals that go towards coins at the Mint (can't remember what Americans call it...), and instead used those coin metals for things of actual use, it would be better.
If the government feels the need to keep cash around (which I think it should since I only really use cash anyways), then they could just make coins out of plastic or paper (like superior Canadian "funny money"/"monopoly money").
Coins are a waste overall imo (and the cost to replace machines and stuff that take coins will suck but whatever, its a natural part of development)

the bible wrote:And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name
