A single slice of bread is something someone might reasonably buy with cash, costing about a penny. This is an argument against eliminating the penny. (Inspired by a discounted loaf of day-old bread being sold for 10 cents at a supermarket.)
What other things might people buy, with cash, costing about a penny? Condiments, cooking ingredients (e.g., teaspoon of salt), bags.
It probably needs to be a special situation in which the labor cost of the transaction does not dominate the cost of the good being bought or sold. Maybe honor system of payment.
