Living so close to Canada as I have my whole life you get to know a lot about the country and meet a lot of the citizens (who are pretty universally delightful and warm people).
There are also a lot of things they do right (sometimes absurdly simple) that we can't seem to manage in this country. One was getting rid of paper dollars a long time ago, and now they are aggressively phasing out the penny, both are among the most worthless extravagances that Americans still hang onto.
If there is so much "fiscal conservatism" and "old fashioned economics" on the loose in Washington DC (although I defy you to show me any actual proof of same), why aren't the penny and the dollar bill (and possibly the nickel) not gone already?
