Cash or card?

Card if possible.

Pennies have been discontinued for several years here in Canada.

They’ll be melting coins down for ammunition.

Even the banks won’t take pennies any more.

Canada stopped minting pennies in 2012 and banks stopped distributing them in 2013. The penny is still legal tender in Canada and by law banks are still required to accept them.

As long as they exist, they will always be US Currency….

Really funny……and timely!!

Hey, Pete – it’s the US; we don’t have pennies, and never have. The penny is a UK coin. The current smallest denomination of US coin is the cent (used ot be half cents; stopped those in the 1850s).

That is its name, that has always been its name, no amount of misuse over any amount of time will make it a penny!

I’ve been in line behind that guy.

Now is the time dump all your pennies, I dumped mine long ago.

Time to take them to the scrap yard to see how much they’re worth per pound…

They are not even solid copper any more.

Stores don’t have to take pennies. They’re not “legal tender for all debts public and private”.
