The U.S. Mint has made its final order of penny blanks and plans to stop producing the coin when those run out.

    Canada got rid of the penny 12 years ago. Hardly raised an eyebrow.

      Probably cause Canadians aren’t weird about their currency.

      All Canadian bills keep getting redesigned.

          I want the next one to be rotated, but still in portrait. Giant black bars on the sides, and the print is tiny. Like full screening a badly edited video.

          And they put a black woman on it. Ooooooo scary!

          I love the vertical $10 bill.

            We Americans do occasionally get the dollar coin redesigned. Sometimes our leaders are forward thinking and recognize important historical figures. I have a few with Sacajawea on it.

      I love your polymer notes. Makes our greenbacks look like antiques.
