Well I guess Canadians will have a harder time searching for coppers once all the pennies are gone

Canada will stop producing pennies this April and begin pulling them out of circulation this fall.

Get them while you still can

Your thoughts?

Should I rush to get more pennies?

Merged three identical threads.

The US isnt far behind.

Yes

Yes you should

My predictions are 8 months ahead of schedule! Step 1 of 3 is now in progess. T-minus 3 years or less untill the U.S penny is gone!!

agree. that being said, we might see price increase/market developement for us smarter folks who did'nt throw our pennies into a coinstar.

who cares, they are just lowly pennies. I did not even know those things had any value anymore

This is really disappointing. Can't say I didn't see it happening, but I was hoping it was 10 years from now. Obviously wishful thinking in hindsight

Very interesting indeed. I don't have many Canandian pennies now, but we'll see what happens here in the US in the next couple of years.

?????? Why continue to produce if only to pull them back in the fall?
Sounds like the 2012 penny will get a big boost in numi value.
Grab all you can NOW!

The us probably would have already done it, if it were not for the inflationary spanking they will surely suffer as a direct result of the debasement.

All aboard....the train has left the station....next stop USA!

When it is announced that the US is doing away with the penny....I say we all meet in Vegas to celebrate and then ask the casinos if they planning to rename the penny machines something different....even though not one of them actually takes a penny!

chalk another one up for the crazies.

this happened sooner than i thought

This should give us a good idea of where the price will go when the US cent follows. I'm interested to see what happens. Price increase for a CTU or worthless flop...? Time will tell and soon. Also we get to see what happens with melting values..

It is high time for the US Govt to follow suit. If they cost more to produce than their face value, time to shut it down.
