My Lucky Penny
Can you honestly tell me, if you passed by a penny on the
floor, you wouldn't pick it up? Not even for good luck? Lately, there's all this penny talk. Well guess what! We might not have the penny
anymore! ---I hope you weren't saving up pennies in a jar-----
A majority of Canadian are favoring in punting the penny.
Recently Canada's Coinage system have been discussing and suggesting that
the penny should be removed immediately! And eventually removing five-cent and 25-cent
coins. They want to introduce a new 20-cent piece. ---- "Believe me I'm not kidding." The polls showed 56 percent of Canadians supporting to
abandon the use of pennies, while 44 percent opposed. Fact: 53 percent of Ontarians wanted
to eliminate the one-cent coin. Some people worry------If we eliminate the penny, five-cent coin and 25-cent coins,
this may cause prices to go up--- which means more TAXES. A Desjardins study says removing the penny, and the nickel,
simply would lead to rounding up or down to the nearest 10 cents, as is done in
New Zealand. --- Do you think we should abolish the penny? ---
