So I'm curious, as someone who lives in Canada, we got rid of the penny and went to a rounding system. I haven't had a single purchase/interaction with currency since that I've been like "I miss the penny". My question is, what's the point? They got rid of it here because it's value doesn't even represent it's manufacturing cost, and the waste it generates is just pointless. I geuss I just don't think the juice is worth the squeeze? Cool coin, and again, I don't live in England so forgive my ignorance, I'm just curious.
In the UK use of cash is in decline
