Good, pennies are annoying as fuck I hate them. |
As much as people want them, I swear to god I found them the most useless to me. I mean yea it's money, I get it and it has value to it, but even vending machines don't take pennies. It's....inconvenient to have them. |
I love this thread already. http://www.yourfinancehelper.com/article/today/act.jpg http://www.yourfinancehelper.com/article/today/lk.jpg |

Good riddance. Eliminate cash altogether. |

Didn't read much into this but wouldn't merchants have the incentive to charge a price so that after tax it will always be them owing you? |

Well then don't approve them for credit. Cashless society doesn't mean everyone is automatically approved for a loan or line of credit. It means instead of carrying cash, you carry a card that represents money. Saves the government from having to print bills, payment processing is mostly automated and it could reduce crime. |

Let's say a dollar store has everything for $1. After tax, it's $1.12, but people can only pay $1.10 so they lose 2¢. They come up with a brilliant idea to change the price to $1.01, so after tax it's $1.13 and people have to pay $1.15. Great! But what if people buy two items? That's $2.26 after tax, which means people pay less again at $2.25. It'll be way too much work to try and nickel and dime for nickels. |

And when the network goes down? http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/a...canada-s-north This affected a lot of gas stations in western Canada. Also how would you pay the babysitter? |
