"They cost more to produce than they are worth, nobody likes them, they have no commercial value."
My very first (very primitive) public facing webpage was dedicated to abolishing the Canadian penny. Good riddance!
- rogerbinns 15y agoCGP Grey has an excellent youtube video on the whole issue for the US. The US currently makes 4 billion 1 cent coins annually. And they have already been abolished at US military overseas bases. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5UT04p5f7U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5UT04p5f7U (Come to think of it, doesn't the US military use a lot more metric system than the general population. If so, this would be a good reason to increase the military since it would appear to be the only way progress happens!)
- philwelch 15y agoThe US military also uses a 24-hour clock (2000 hours instead of 8:00 PM) and consistent little-endian date formats (29 March 2012 instead of March 29 2012).
- rogerbinns 15y agoThat does it. I'm now in favour of compulsory military service for everyone, since that is the only way US citizens will be modernized.
