Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2531474, member: 19250"]Dateline September  29 2016 The U.S. Mint today announced  that they will follow in the snowshoes of our neighbors  of the "Great White North"In conjunction  with the BEP ,the mint will now cease  mintage of all one cent coins,as well as dollar coins and notes.In place the US Government   will pay the RCM to mint a new version  of the looney  and toonie . This will save the United  States  Government  millions  every year! The penny now so obsolete  that even fountains  have refused them being tossed in. They will be replaced with rounding up or down on the cost of an item. So as an example you buy your  3 year old son a happy meal, at Mc D's old cost $4.79. The new  retail will be $10. As the  pimple faced employees just don't  grasp rounding up or down. After all rounding is taught in 3rd grade math.The two new coins replacing the dollar note and the two dollar bill with "not" have images of dead presidents.Instead they will have an images of both the  house and senate members. This is being done to unite the country buy spending in a  bipartisanship way. Both the loonie  and toonie will be struck featuring members of both parties. Third party  members  will have a special  coin minted called a loonietoons . Not to be confused  with Saturday  morning  cartoons.[/QUOTE]
