This week the Senate suggested to get rid of penny, according to the Bank of Canada the penny has lost 95% of its value since 1908 and it currently costs 1.5 cents to produce 1 penny. Given these to get rid of the penny, personally I am all for it. Before the Euro came in several European countries did not have pennies in circulation and the economy functioned just fine.

We’re finally getting serious about getting rid of the penny now that nickels and dimes are useless too. Thanks for the mention.
