well, it looks like the Canadian penny is finally being phased out of production and eventually out of circulation in the near future.
with that announcement, one product on the market comes to mind: GAS!
gasoline is the only product on the market that you will ever see priced at a tenth of a cent. it'll go up by 2.9 cents/liter, or go down by 1.3 cents/liter, etc, but what's going to happen when that penny is gone. will every gas price increase (and the occasional decrease) be at a ridiculous rate of 5 cents/liter every time the price changes?
well, it's highly unlikely the oil company's are going to be losing any of their multi-billion dollar per year profits just because the penny will no longer be around.
end of rant.
