<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eyestrain, post: 1057032, member: 24213&quot;]2012 may not turn out to be the end of the world, but it might be the end of the Canadian penny. They&#039;ve been talking about it for decades, but with the recent Senate finance committee recommendation, the first real nail has been hammered into the penny&#039;s coffin. There are a number of political hurdles yet, but it looks like the end is officially near. I know the <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/pointofview/2010/12/the-penny-is-it-time-to-retire-the-one-cent-coin.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/pointofview/2010/12/the-penny-is-it-time-to-retire-the-one-cent-coin.html" rel="nofollow">news media</a> picks up this story about once a year, but I&#039;m betting its for real this time. I&#039;ll be sad to see the twin maple leafs go. Judging from the poll attached to the linked story, public support is behind it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
