haha that coin what a flop. You can still find it en mass on metro transit lines. Of course it was going to fail, they only had the coins at like Walmart and nobody could say the woman's name. And they missed their George. coins dollars will never happen in the states, Americans hate the idea of carrying around coins. weighs us down apparently. lol

If we get rid of our pennies, will US follow suit? uhm, hope I didn't ask a dumb question!
a kiwi told me they don't have pennies in nz, said it was the greatest thing not to have pennies. They also don't have 5c either. 10,20,50,1,2. that's what they got. aussies don't have the penny swedes do 50c, 1d, 5d norway 50c, 1d, 5d, 20d
storekeepers can still advertise like 3.99. but after taxes and everything.. everything must round to 5's and 10's. Think gas prices.. they are advertised at 123.4 per litre.

lol. Yes....wasting another 40 seconds out of our lives is a good reason to get rid of pennies. (I'm assuming you are being facetious )?
