Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular we're not sure whether you'd like to abolish one and two pence coins, or whether you'd like retailers to have to donate one or two pence to the NHS after every transaction.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
