R.I.P. Canadian penny Topic




...The estimated cost for making pennies in Canada was only 1.6 cents.Canada's decision to end the penny comes coupled with a plan to round prices up to "the nearest nickel for cash transactions."...

some retailers are rounding down to the nearest nickel no matter what;  (e.g., $1.04 becomes $1)

some other retailers are rounding to the nearest (either up or down aka Swedish rounding);

and of course, plastic transactions stay at the exact amount.


(New Zealand has also eliminated its 5 cent coin, in addition to its penny)

in the language of the pit, "zzolao"

Do it here.  Get rid of the dollar bill as well.  Mint dollar coins and print more $2.  The stripper lobby would approve.

It was so nice of Canada to nickname their two dollar coin after swamp.

I think you may be referring to the one dollar coin ( Loonie).
The two dollar coin is known as the "toonie or twonie"

No pennies is a good thing
