Wow!
I wonder if the quart+ of Canadian pennies I've got stashed are worth keeping around as eventual keepsakes?

Currently, for every one cent made by the United States Mint costs 2.41 cents. Its probably just a matter of time that it happens here too.
It sounds nice that everything will be 'rounded off' to the nearest nichel, but in reality, will it be typically rounded up or down? I think it will be rounded up much more than down, further putting the shaft to the consumers.
Only the sword now carries any weight in the balance for the destiny of a nation.
Once the coins are not made of gold or silver or some other "precious" material, I'm not sure it matters. The value hasn't been tied to the content for a long time anyway. Let 'em be plastic or steel or what ever.
Maybe I can start using all those wooden nickels I've been suckered into.
Make America WELL Again !
Even as men wrecked upon a sand, that look to be
washed off the next tide.
Then we'll need a 10% sales tax, even at the Dollar stores.

Exactly. Our county 6.5% sales tax? Guess where it's going...UP, not down.
Careful...the older I get, the less "life sentence" is a deterrent.
Today Canada also raised the retirement age to 67 - for the year 2023.
It can't be long before something similar happens here. See the article below.
Wonder what TurboTimmy plans to substitute for the "valuable metals" of copper, nickel and zinc ... that replaced the really valuable metals of gold and silver in America's coinage decades ago? Steel? Aluminum? Plastic maybe?
Sounds like what LBJ said, back when he was considering the Coinage Act of 1965, which stripped the 90% silver out of America's dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollar coins and replaced them with copper sandwiched in silver colored metal.

Philly Deals: Geithner sees cash in coins' metal
March 29, 2012
Like an old man with a cart picking up junk on Ridge Avenue, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is trying to turn scraps of metal into cash.
Geithner wants to strip copper and other valuable metals from the Philadelphia and Denver coining lines that mint America's small change. "Currently, the costs of making the penny and the nickel are more than twice the face value of each of those coins," he told a House Appropriations Committee panel Wednesday.
Treasury wants a law that would give it the freedom "to change the composition of coins to utilize more cost-effective materials" without having to ask Congress for permission every time it dilutes the content of the national coinage.

the globalists can bring us into the bondage of the cashless monetary system.
Our chains are being forged, not of steel, but of ones and zeros stored in the computers of banks and government.
