Anyone Sad To See That The Canadian Penny Has Been Discontinued?

[B00Mer]

I remember a time when I could buy two Mojos for a penny....It was upsetting when the price went up to one for a penny.

Sh!t and CDNBear was calling me old.. lol

You're straight out of Jurassic park.

How did you manage to finally overcome that disaster? Very traumatic! :lol:

I had to work harder. 100% inflation isn't an easy hurdle to overcome.

Did this happen before Mr. Trudeau's "Rights and Freedoms" took effect? Sure was lucky for Mojo that that instrument wasn't in place.

I'll bet it caused all kinds of havoc when Canada changed from the English system and "Penny wise and pound foolish" lost its meaning.

...and there goes the Penny Stock.

I was living in rural BC. The Wells Fargo coach only came in once a month to resupply the entire Okanagan during tourist season. Things were pricy.

It's time for the penny to go.....it takes two cents to make and distribute every one of the 6 billion or so we make every year.
