    Is Canada really going to make the penny obsolete?

    And just how are they going to keep a dead man's eyes closed w/o the pennies and who will pay the ferry man?

    pasture, so be sure to keep a few for souvenirs.

    Only pick it up if it's heads up, then it's good luck. If it's tails up, turn it over for the next person. (I think this is neat....)

    Yes......April 02, 2008..... Click here...... http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=d6a368c0-ffeb-4d2c-aff0-f7ff09fc4b9e&k=82057


    Yes.......March 30, 2012....Click here.....CNN http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/30/business/canada-penny/index.html

    I didn't hear that about Canada, and I live near the border. But, I did hear that the U.S. is thinking of doing away with the penny. I hope they don't. .......b/c how are you supposed to count out the right change or give back the right change without the penny.......Like, tonight, my dinner in a resturant was  $ 4.87. I gave him a  $5.00 bill. He gave me back the change which included pennies. It was a spinach pie.

    That dinner in Canada, after the penny is gone, will cost $4.90

    I don't bother picking them up.
