But, getting rid of the penny which costs 3 cents to make causes a bigger problem with nickels, which cost 13 cents to make, and we'd have to make more nickels to make up for the loss of pennies. Savings negated.

I didn't think that was true. I read a Times Magazine article recently on this, and they stated that all the other coins cost less to make.
 
According to the U.S. Mint, producing nickels has also remained above face-value for nearly 20 years. In fiscal year 2024, it cost nearly 14 cents to make the five-cent piece.

The average cost to make one penny rose to 3.69 cents in the last fiscal year, marking the 19th consecutive year the coin has “remained above face value,” per the latest U.S. Mint report.
 
Per the latest U.S. Mint report, it costs less than six cents to make a dime ($0.0576). To make a quarter, it cost about 15 cents ($0.1468), and nearly 34 cents for a half-dollar ($0.3397).
