I just got back from a trip to Australia and New Zealand, and this is one of the things that I noticed while I was over there. Neither of those countries seemed to have pennies. If they did, I didn't encounter them while I was there. The lowest denomination I saw in Australia was a 5-cent coin, and the lowest I saw in New Zealand was a 10-cent coin.
I remarked while I was over there at how much sense this made to me and wished that the same would happen in the United States, because I feel like pennies are worthless. I'm glad to see someone experimenting with it in the US.
- toolate 16y agoWe got rid of our one and two cent coins in Australia in 1992. Likewise, you're correct about New Zealand not having 1, 2 or 5 cent coins.
