There were stories in the press a few weeks back that copper coins should be withdrawn. Mrs May quickly shot it down.
Personally I think these coins should go but its increasingly difficult for politicians to make such decisions. Social media would jump on it, the tabloid press would be full of pictures of tearful kids who could no longer buy a single sweet from the last corner shop in Nowhereshire.
The other parties would make capital out of it (all of them do this) and start a "Save the People's Penny" campaign.
Its not worth the hassle.
