What's up?

It's Draymond Green.

I'm back for my 14th NBA season and my podcast to Dremont Green Show is back to. This season, I'm breaking down games, reacting to the biggest NBA stories, and sitting down with teammates, rivals, and culture shapers. And trust me, I'm not holding back on the court or on the mic. Two new episodes every week, new segments, big conversations, real basketball talk for the real

hoop heads. Listen to and follow the Draymond Green Show wherever you get your podcast. We're back,

we're better. Let's get it.

Don't tell me Paul McCartney died. No. Oh, okay. Why are you playing this? The penny died.

The penny died? Yeah, the actual, the coin. Really? They minted their last penny yesterday in Philadelphia. Oh, but the ones that are in circulation will remain in circulation. I'm going to hoard all the pennies. Okay. You're 56. By the time that means anything, you'd be 156. I've already reached out to WFA and payroll. Please give me all my money and pennies. That would be hilarious. You get all 50-cent rolls. I'll be like, look at how rich you would feel if you're walking out here just carrying heavy pennies. Yeah. And at the end of the day, it's not much. They said it costs three pennies to make one penny. That seems stupid. But they're also saying it cost two nickels to make one nickel. What are we doing? And we're still making nickels. Why? That's absurd. Yeah. Not to mention most, not I shouldn't say most, a lot of places will not take money anymore. They don't want your cash.

Oh, you can't use cash in an airport, at least not in Newark. I shouldn't say all airports. You can't use cash in Newark. You can't use cash on a plane. You can't use cash at arenas anymore in this area. I don't know about around the country, but certainly in this area. like you can't you god forbid you want to pay for a toll with cash can't there's no toll takers i mean

it's like it's gone. And yet restaurants want you to pay it and get. Yeah. I don't know that they do, actually. Well, they make it appealing because you don't have to pay the credit card fee. That's true. And then they can maybe. Let me ask you this. and they're charging you more than the credit card fee cost, by the way, so they're making more money. How many people do you think actually going to a restaurant with $300 cash for a... Not many. Yeah. I mean, I know what you're saying. I would say that number is less than 10% of all customers paying in cash. That's probably true. But... And they're making more money on the processing. Even if they can hide some of the cash otherwise. Yeah, well, that is true, but no one's paying cash. My dry cleaner only takes cash. Oh, wow. And then what happens is... So they make, what, $8,000 a year? My dry cleaner then ends up with my clothes for much longer because every time I'm driving by and I'm like, oh, I should go. You don't have cash on you. Don't have cash. So you can't even use a debit card. No. It just sits there for weeks. There's a, I don't, they've changed since, but there was a pizza place in Homedel that was cash only for the longest time. They had to change and switch. But it was like, oh, I don't have cash on me. Now I've got to go in ATM if I go pick up the food. It was a pain in the ass. It feels like that should be illegal. Why? Cash only? Yeah. Any more than card only? Yeah, it seems like the legal tender in the U.S. is cash or credit. Yeah. Either should work. Yeah, either should work. And when you don't take one over the other, something's up. And think about it, Jerry, if you go out to dinner with another couple, and it's a nice restaurant and you're getting alcohol. Oh, yeah.

That's a lot of cash.

The bill is ridiculous. That's what I mean. And you don't know how much do you bring. Like, are you going to go to the bank and take $600 out because you don't know how much dinner is going to be? Right, because you don't want to short them on the tip. Correct. All right. So good night to the penny. See you later, Penny.

Sue?

Penny.

You may think if I hang night to the penny. See you later, Penny. So? Penny.

You may think if I hang on to pennies in like 20 years, I'll be like, look at all these pennies I got.

Who's interested?

Nobody.

Nobody?

There are coin collectors, but you better, in that, in your assortment of pennies that you collect,

you better come up with some pretty old ones.

Like a lead penny from like World War II.

So, okay.
