I think they're a necessity - without them to deal with odd numbers created by sales taxes, merchants most likely simply round up, and it all adds up. I've taken to periodically cleaning out my wallet and dumping excess change into a jar (largely pennies) about once a year I have a rolling day to take the change to the bank. Last time it was over $150. Small change does add up.
