I guess it makes sense, there's not much to buy with a penny in any countries economy, I wish the UK would do the same.

You find the pennies chucked everywhere. People have no mass on them anymore so it's time to be rid. The only problem is, I'm sure things will be rounded up and not down. Not much goes in the consumers favour.

We did away with them years ago in Australia.Our lowest coin denomination is 5 cents. You get used to it.It was no big deal.

I think Canadians know what they are doing. They are much smarter than the US. The financial crisis did not affect them at all, because they could see the problems coming.

Perhaps now that they have stopped minting them they might have some value one day.

then how are they gonna make change when it boils down to pennies?.  Or, if something costs   $8.53 , how are you going to give them the correct change ? If you give them  $ 8.60 and expect change, you won't be getting it back. At least there will be a lot less Canadian pennies here in the Detroit area..  Detroit is only 5 miles from Canada.

What a bummer that would be for the USA.  Our sales tax would go up in increments of 5 cents.  Buy something for a dollar, pay $1.05, $1.10, $1.15.  It sounds petty, but with an 8% sales tax, you'd round up to 10%.  It adds up. 
I like pennies. Pennies from Heaven.

In the US pennies are "not" currency..they simply exist "to make up the difference".  No Pennies No More $19.99 it would be 19.95 or 20.00...and we can guess which way it would go- gosh aren't we nickled and dimed enough???   LOL
