Bring Back The Canadian Penny !

   Recently our historical -well loved  -penny currency was laid to rest.It was said that the cost of producing the penny was not worth it  . Although we have enough pennies in our country to not need any more made for at least approximately 5 years.

  It has been at least a many generation past time of our young (and even adult) citizens to find (helping the recycling process) ,and save the Canadian penny (to which the banks were always thankful and relied upon.

 I believe that tradition has been denied to our generation,our easy cost effectiive way to teach our,even toddlers,and to be responsible for money management and learn self control.

  The country would not incur any expense.Another problem is that the way business has been picking and choosing(even) the children who will pay a few extra cents and who will be given a discount.

           The system is flawed and the patrons and children of Canada are being harrased.

   It goes farther that commercial business is affected if they choose to use cash-they are also subject to being harrased even shorted.This is perhaps one of a few influences why our dollar is at aroundt 88 cents when it should be almost at par with the American dollar to ensure our businesses stay open and people keep their jobs.

REMEDY? 

   Immediately re-instate the penny ,not needing to make itt every year but just move it around ------ or-----   put all money on a chip card where these above problems will dissappear.
