They should sell ads on the back of the penny.
"A Penny Save is a Penny Earned - Chase Bank"
A durable, historical, innovative new channel that also makes minting pennies profitable. Everyone loved collecting those state quarters they made a few years back.
Of course, if this is successful we can move upstream to other coins and eventually dollar bills. Alternatively, we could allow rich people to put their face on the penny instead of that old president guy on there now.
Just the media exposure alone to be the first company to sponsor the penny would probably yield a positive ROI.
And think about how jealous the CEO of McDonalds will be when forced to dispense Burger King branded coins from their automated robot cash registers.

- antcas 8y agoAre consumer brands advertised on those notes? Having private banks print money is a lot different than selling ad space to McDonald's on your dollar bill.
- los_angeles 8y agoYes, the consumer brand (HSBC in this one for example) is printed and advertised heavily on the money: https://www.leftovercurrency.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/20-hong-kong-dollars-banknote-hsbc-2010-issue-obverse-1.jpg https://www.leftovercurrency.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/...
