Canada is getting rid of pennies to save money? Should the U.S. do the same?

Canada to be penniless -- no new 1-cent coins after April

I think it cost more to produce pennies then they are worth anyway, i think the only way we will save money is by getting rid of it for a little bit

The problem with getting rid of the penny is that tax will move in no less then 5 cent increments as will prices of everything you buy.it would be better to drop the penny as it cost more to produce then it's value but it would also be good to eliminate taxes and the IRS but the only person interested in that is Ron Paul and he is currrently being railroaded as usual.

saves government money; but, people will pay more for everything; everything rounded up?
