A penny for your thoughts? How about a nickel for your laughs?

Kelly Ripa got a kick out of a silly moment on Thursday’s Live with Kelly and Mark when Mark Consuelos read that “the penny’s already dead, and the nickel could be the next to go.”

“For each nickel, it cost [the Mint] 13 cents to make, so it doesn’t make any senes,” he said, prompting a pun from Ripa.

“It doesn’t make any sense to make all this cents,” she quipped.

After Consuelos said that “the Mint lost $85 million” on making nickels, Ripa urged Live viewers to “start hoarding our pennies and nickels.”

“They’re going to be a thing of value. One of these days,” she lamented. “One of these days, they’ll be like, ‘Remember the penny?’ And I’ll be like, ‘Yes, I have a jar full of pennies.'”

Consuelos couldn’t remember the last time he used cash for a purchase, noting that you only need cash to “tip.” However, Ripa clarified why that may be the case for him.

“Yes, I know, because you always go into my wallet to find money to tip people,” she revealed. “Because you don’t bother yourself with the ATMs anymore. Why do that when you have a wife?”

While Consuelos teased that Ripa is “flush,” she insisted that she has to be in order to accommodate his tipping. Consuelos returned to the subject of nickels

“Hold onto your nickels,” he urged.

“Hold onto your nickels,” Ripa echoed with a slight giggle, “which always makes me laugh because it sounds like nipples, and that makes me laugh. I’m a child. I’m like a 12-year-old.”

Nonetheless, Consuelos read that “they’re saying it’s going to be quite some time before they get rid of nickels.”

“About 10-15 years,” he added.

In the meantime, hold onto your nickels!
