Member 131 | Subject: RE: Good bye to the Canadian penny It is going to be a bit confusing the whole round up down thing but I just got back from 2 months in NZ where they haven't had pennies or 5 cents for quite a while. So then the rounding is alot easier as it is up or down to the 10 cent not the 5. Makes me wonder how long it will be before the 5 cent coin goes the way of the penny? Now off to the pool so i can get away from the computer and the thread about the tri/wedding day

Tell you what, Willow better watch out! haha - Just thinking about it not getting mixed up in American $ anymore. I think it was at the SF airport when a clerk at a fast food place was picking out the Canadian pennies saying they don`t take them. Really? It's a penny .... |

Unfortunately there are these other numbers like 6 and 7, 8 and 9. I don't envy cashiers right now. I can see some angry consumers causing problems. |
