give unto Caesar what is his?

i hear
on the news that pennies
will
soon be extinct.
everyone is rounding up now,
those cheats.
i look at my
hundred
pound
jar of pennies on the floor
and nearly
faint.
should i save them,
cash them
in?
will they become gold
artifacts
in the distant future?
valuable
ancient coins, like
the ones
they discover in the dirt
in Rome,
will Abe Lincoln
go the way
of Caesar's face?
