Nightwing Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 There is a PDF document that details the Royal Canadian Mint's findings of their public survey. To download follow this link: http://www.mint.ca/royalcanadianmintpublic...ome/default.htm I found this interesting because the survey touches upon some of the same arguments I have read for and against the removal of the US Penny. (There are plans to redesign the penny for 2009 in the US) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(There are plans to redesign the penny for 2009 in the US) Just an FYI, and I know this has been brought up several times in the past, so forgive me, but... Great Britian has a penny. The United States and Canada have cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henare Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Just an FYI, and I know this has been brought up several times in the past, so forgive me, but... clearly if people were concerned they would have taken the hint the first time. is there anyone here who doesn't know that a penny is a common name for a one cent coin in the us?

tabbs Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 In case you guys are referring to this http://www.mint.ca/royalcanadianmintpublic...thePennyENG.pdf - well, the name is a good hint: The title of the study is "The Future of the Penny in Canada" ... and the study is not about renaming the small unit of the Canadian Dollar.

Scottishmoney Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think if you polled Americans they would come out at about 95% in favour of referring to the coin as a Penny, and the rest are those hardcores that haven't quite yet accepted that Elvis is actually dead also.

Now wait a minute. Penny, cent, cent, penny who gives a heckfoo. BUT you're trying to tell me that Elvis is really dead. It's not a CIA witness protection thing? Next you'll be telling me there's not Santa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwing Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Sorry Art, there is no Easter Bunny either... I interchange what I call the US cent. Actually I do normally refer to it as a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggit Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Actually if you are to look at the paper rolls that house the "cent" or "penny" it is backwards for the most part to what most want it referred to. In Canada most of our paper rollers have the cent sign on them and no where does it say penny, however go on Ebay for Lincoln rolls... made in the US?... and most in HUGE letters say Pennies!

Hmmmm When I have gotten cents from the bank, the US rolls always say "pennies", whilst the Canadian ones do indeed say "cent", it is how I tell them apart. Usually I didn't care for getting Canadian rolls, but with the high percentage of GVI and early YH QEII coins I have to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVSpartan Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I bet if I asked half my friends for a cent they would have to stop and think. Penny is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
