Here in Canada we got rid of the penny some years ago. If you're paying with cash, the total just gets rounded at the register. Honestly I don't miss it.

Australia got rid of 1c and 2c coins in 1991. No one missed them. I wish we'd do the same for 5c now. Not that I ever use cash anymore anyway.

I wish they would take it further. Dimes are the new pennies.

What about the nickel?

Goodbye nickels and dimes too I'd say. Might as well just do it all at once and simplify things for a good long time.
