Oh and I agree with the Canadians why make a penny if it costs more to make?
Precision.
We like to be exact and precise. Sort of like the way our bombs function. Right to the point. On target. True. Effective.

I shall remind you, it was about Canada dropping the penny to save money. You've tried to turn it into some kind of one-man-internet-rally about how awesome America is.
Please provide some decent information about Canada and their proposed idea to drop the penny...
The Canadian penny is a token of fiat money.
The Canadians want to stop producing the token of fiat money.
They claim they will save fiat money in this way.
Oh sure.
They'll save it alright.

The Federal Reserve dumped trillions of Dollars on the world at large.
Do you think they were trying to ~save~ money by doing this?
Come on, people. Get with it. A penny saved is a penny earned.

You think that just because a country prints more money that it's worth more? wow.
A penny saved is a penny earned?

The inflation of the money supply which leads to the inflation of prices.
Our current inflation is inflated way more than the population so if you are going to try and retort with that then, fail.
