Non-cents (see what I just did there?)

Way back in 2009, I mentioned (probably for the umpteenth time) that I'd like the penny abolished.

Now it seems the Canadian Senate is taking a serious look at the idea.

On a related note, I rediscovered today why I like self-serve grocery store checkout terminals. They take pennies. And I use the opportunity to ditch as many of them as I can.........

Wise shoppers use the penny. The others hoard.
Another thought on rounding up/down. Why should anything be rounded when using plastic?
