My dad used to joke with waitresses when giving them change for a meal and using a penny, "are these even legal tender anymore". Well, dad might be happy to hear that the penny is now officially out of currency. No more pennies will be minted. It is a symbolic move. So much transaction is done via interact and one wonders the implications for this for cash transactions and rounding for commerce. At any rate Minister Flaherty said:
"The time has come to make the sensible decision to end production of the coin which is underused by Canadians, no longer vital to commerce and ultimately a burden on Canada's balance sheet."
Canada's last penny minted
Requiescat in Pace (pedantic alert!!! i think requiescat is the plural of requiem) penny.
