Canadians Abolish Their Pennies
We got rid of our pennies at least a year ago and it appears to be working out fine and dandy. We simply round up or down. There's no more digging around in our wallets for three cents while irritating customers in line behind us. The absence of pennies has not, however, lightened the load in my purse. We still use one and two dollar coins but those distinctive "loonies" and "toonies" that we haul around contribute to our hardy Canadian identity.
