i'll give you one thing you silly americans.... your change sure does weigh a lot compared to canadian change...
personally tho i don't think they should bother with 1cent and 5cent, and just round things up or down ;/
The is some dumbass who started some protest to keep the penny last year. I highly doubt it will be around that much longer unless copper prices come way down.
Nickels are mostly copper (except in canada where they are steel too.) Metal prices have gone up over the years but the US dollar has fallen a fucking shitload too. He didn't mention that part.
This is what happens when you let the federal reserve make money. The most worthless penny is not even worth the crap zinc its made of, and then Yaks crap moosemoney is worth more than the dollar is... go figure.

I'm pretty sure I heard a couple years ago that they were planning on getting rid of the penny.
Alberta use to be that way, everything was rounded to the dollar... no fucking around with change..

^There
don't worry, the amero will take care of everything!!!
Considering pennies are mostly made of zinc and hardly any copper, I guess even zinc is too expensive to use a penny anymore. Yay runaway inflation!!
*as pennies, I meant.... (*runawayinflation*)
Yeah zinc became too expensive a couple years back. Canada uses steel for their pennies now.

The Royal Mint has been making copper coins with a steel lining for a few years now. Plus we get lots of your US$ for our £ now
They have one yen coins in Japan, which is less than a penny. Not sure what they are made of. They are light as fuck.
