Pennies no longer exist in Canadaland

They haven't for a few years .. but I miss em.

Oh man they were fun to collect.

They're still legal tender, but if you give it to a store/bank, they keep it and don't distribute them back to the public. They all go somewheres? I dunno

Anyone know?

Pennies are fun

Anyway, now everything is rounded up or down to the nickle. But pennies still exist when using a credit card, that's bullshit.

That comes to $9.28 ... og you're paying with credit card? $9.30!!! fuck that

What do you guys think?

Apparently pennies were getting too expensive to make, they used to be full coppper but in the end were copper coated zinc things or something. Even then a penny cost like 2.5 cents to make or something.

I'm talking out of my ass for the most part here, but if anyone wants to chime in with actual facts please do :)

Penny for your thoughts?
 
We have officially run out of threads.
 
I hated pennies. Good riddance IMO. I don't like carrying cash. I no longer carry a wallet, just a card holder for credit cards

The inefficiency of penny production is a pretty relevant topic but there's plenty of good places and important stuff that you're gonna need cash for... even legal stuff sometimes.

I can fit bills in my card holder if I want, I just prefer not too. I don't know what you mean by legal stuff
 
I hated pennies except for throwing them in a jar.

I'm pretty sure the cashier rounds wrong when I pay for shit most of the time.

I wonder how it works out in the end with the rounding up and down and where the profit goes exactly...
 
Well, you don't want to pay for defaced firearms or escort services with personal checks was what I was alluding to but, like I said, cash is king with some transactions in the legitimate world particularly restaurants and services.

I once gave a prostitute 50,000 pennies for services
 
I hate pennies. I throw them on the ground or into the trash... Poor people can have them, they're disgusting.

Flinging pennies at the poor as I trot by.

*bzzzzzzzzzz-friiiinnnnnnggggggg!*

Honestly, that's the best use of pennies - snapping them at people like those old-school disc flinging toy guns.

*bzzzzzzzzzz-friiiinnnnnnggggggg!*
 
I shouldn't talk, I used to sit outside and have a hotplate with coins on it, and when people would bum for money I would throw piping hot change at them.

ENJOY YOUR CHANGE

They would get some change alright ... I changed their face ... to being burnt

But they got to buy liquor and drink it off that night so all is cool

I used to have a crush on Penny from Inspector Gadget.

But nah, fuck pennies. I usually throw them in the garbage. True story.
