We got rid of our 1 and 2 cent pieces in Australia, years ago. Don't miss them at all. They are now talking about getting rid of the 5 cent piece.
Let's get rid of all the coins...instead of rounding up to the next dollar, we'll round down to the last dollar.
I should run for president.
Funny I was thinking the same thing
Do you think Big EC would make a good president?
Actually i was thinking i should run for president
No knock on EC
Sorry, my vote goes elsewhere!I'd have voted for either one-a-ya over the choices we had last time. Obviously, though, it should be me.

Nickels cost about 8 cents to make.Why is the nickel twice the size of the dime, and worth only half as much ?
The 'powers that be' should consult us about these things.
I was worried about this as i alluded to earlier. Leave it to the government . They can lose money making money. No wonder the deficit is so high!Nickels cost about 8 cents to make.
I always pick up pennies. I was told at an early age that finding a penny is good luck. I found one a couple of weeks ago in the parking lot where I work. You can't have too much good luck IMHO.
But what would we put in our loafers?
Or, maybe just do the round down/up thing like Canada.My only problem with getting rid of the penny is the price of everything automatically being rounded up to the nearest $0.05. If it was rounded down instead, you can bet that every single store out there would want to keep the penny forever. Doesn't matter if the consumer is the one who has to pay more though, right?
Over nickles?And soon he will phase himself out of the market.
