Canadian here. We haven’t used the penny in over a decade. You won’t miss it.

If a currency has been debased to the point that its lowest denomination has been determined worthless, that’s not a coinage problem; it’s a fiscal-policy problem. Shave off two zeros and bring back the quarter-cent, and … problem solved (though those 9 mills on gas prices would actually mean something again).

But that would make Musk’s goal of being the first trillionaire out of reach, so let’s kill the penny ahead of addressing long-festering problems with the financial system.

Cool. Elimitate the dollar-bill next.

About time. The penny isn’t worth the metal it’s minted on anyway.

Unrelated, but the archive link isn’t loading for me strangely. I’ll keep trying throughout the day and see if it loads.
