should the penny be eliminated?

Loonies and toonies are fucking awful. The worst part about going to Canada is having to tighten your fucking belt to carry around those stupid things.

Just keep a bucket of rocks in your car. That's what I do. Although I throw them at minorities and not hitchhikers. Well actually if the hitchhiker was a minority I would.

You can keep your gay shitty one dollar bills thank you very much. That straightening out your bills garbage just to get a can of Coke from a vending machine is stone age bullshit. If there's one thing remnant taught me in his brief time with us here at TNL it was to live your life in the fastlane. Loonies are means to that. Dollar bills are not.

The only reason I hate Canadian money is because I spend it like monopoly money in the Casino's, it just feels, er, fake.

I feel the same about American money. It seems like cartoon money or something.

Yeah, you must feel ripped off when you convert it.

True. It just goes to point out how worthless IMO the penny is.

The national average ST is 6%, but a 6% IT hike wouldn't be needed since not every sale item is taxable (food is generally exempt, as long as it's not eaten in a restaurant). So, about 2% would be enough.

Montana's IT rate of 10% sounds a tad high, but the lack of ST makes up for it.

QFT. I'd take loonies any day- Canada has one hell of a great idea. Sometimes if a dollar bill isn't as smooth as a freshly starched and ironed shirt, a bill acceptor isn't going to take it no matter what you do. Getting a different dollar bill isn't always an option. Dropping a $1 coin or two down a slot is quicker and easier.

Not really. The greenback is really weak right now so I wouldn't lose very much. Wait 5 years for that joke to be valid again.

It wasn't a joke, I was talking about the bill/coin thing.

Yeah, it's true I guess. I just carry lead weights in my pockets to make everything feel normal.
