At the rate I use cash, it would take me about 10 years to end up with enough pennies for a roll to take to a bank. So, they can abolish the penny or not, I don't care, and neither should you.

What is this "cash" of which you speak?
In the before times, I used to carry change with me and use it to round off purchases. Now I find myself using plastic for everything and often don't even have folding bills. Yes, I know the financial privacy people cringe at this but it sure is convenient.
Bringing it back to the topic, absolutely, get rid of pennies and nickels too. I would say bring back dollar coins and get rid of $1 bills but I think that idea's time has come and gone.

"bring back dollar coins ...". The bank has those if you ask. I prefer boxes of 50 cent pieces.
