When will the U.S. do like Canada and get rid of pennies (and dollar bills too). Some days i feel like i'm single handedly trying to thwart a plan to remove pennies from circulation by some evil doctor who tosses handfuls all over Americas parks and schools. I want to find $1 and $2 coins when i hunt! So it doesn't cost me $10.00 for gas to find $3.46 in clad. crying01 crying01 < you're smart!
