Problems for Individuals
•2/3 of class don’t like them•Only ½ of people surveyed use them daily•Pennies from heaven?
![Page 6: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Problems for Businesses
•5.5 million hours = $22 million cost•30 cents for every $1 of pennies = expensive
![Page 7: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problems for the Nation
•7 billion taken out of circulation/year•Billions more in jars and piggy banks
•6% of Americans throw them out•12 billion new pennies = $80 million/year
![Page 8: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Solution
From the Coin Coalition1) Round off purchases to nearest nickel2) Round off sales tax to nearest nickel3) Stop making new pennies4) Cash in pennies
![Page 9: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It Could Work!Remember the Half-Cent Coin? You Already Round Off!
![Page 10: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Learning groups discussion•What are the Problem issues in this
speech? (Who is our present policy toward the Penny hurting?)•What is the Plan?•How does the speaker work to prove
that the plan is Practical? (show it solves the problem, anticipates objections, provides evidence of ease)

Problem Issue Development•Pennies are a nuisance for individuals. •EVIDENCE: class survey, U.S. Mint Survey, example
of Noel Gunther from the L.A. Times
![Page 12: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Problem Issue Development•Pennies are a nuisance for businesses.•EVIDENCE: Fortune magazine, National Association
of Convenience Stores
![Page 13: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Problem Issue Development•Pennies are a nuisance for the nation. •EVIDENCE: stats and testimony from the Treasury
Dept., from the U.S. Mint, from U.S. News and World Report]
![Page 14: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Plan Issue•First step is for the federal government to legalize
and standardize rounding off purchases to the nearest nickel.
•The next step is to round the sales tax off to the nearest nickel.
•The third step is for the mint to stop making pennies.
•The fourth step is for people to cash in their pennies removing them from the money supply.
![Page 15: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Practicality Issue--mixed in with the Plan
•Rounding off purchases: would not cause increased cost to consumers.
•Rounding off sales tax: again, no increased cost; it is like rounding off to the nearest dollar on your income tax return.
•Stop minting: this will save $80 million a year.
![Page 16: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
More Practicality•Such a plan has worked in
the U.S. before; in 1857 we eliminated the half-penny.
•We already practice this plan through the "Leave a Penny, Take a Penny" dishes at check-out counters.
![Page 17: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Specific Purpose Statement
• To persuade my audience that “X” should do “Y.”
• Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that the Federal Government should eliminate the penny from the United States money supply.
![Page 18: “The Problem with Pennies” Problem, Plan and Practicality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ca65503460f949676f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Central Idea
• The Central Idea Indicates the Main PointsI. Pennies cause serious problems for individuals, businesses and the national economy.II. The federal government should eliminate pennies from the money supply.
• Central Idea: Because Pennies cause problems for individuals, businesses, and the economy as a whole, they should be eliminated from the U.S. money system.

•This is a simple pattern▫Something is wrong. [Make us care.]▫We can fix it! [Show us what can be done
and how we can help.]•Using your analysis
I. Problem = ProblemII. Solution = Plan and Practicality

Problem-Cause-Solution•Can be even stronger than Problem-Solution▫It has built-in practicality impact if you can isolate
the causes and addresses those causes in your plan.
•Using your analysisI. Problem = ProblemII. Cause = ProblemIII. Solution = Plan and Practicality
