I wish the US would do away with the Dollar bill and use only dollar coins... of course I wish we were back on the gold and silver standard also.

Give it time! As long as the dollar bill is in circulation, it won't go that quick, they took ours away, so we didn't have much choice.

Toniblab, I'd like to see a pic of that 1925 1c!

Personally, I think the small cent is a throwback which can be done away with.
Finland got rid of their Penni, as did Switzerland with their 1 Rappen.
The US and Canada should do the same for circulation--but keep minting them for collectors!
That would be far more cost-effective.

LOL...I wish we had "Tim Horton's" here in (California)...I like that place!

I would hate to see the Canada cent go far more than the US cent. Ours hasn't wholly changed since 1909 andnonly partially in 1959...I think. Your country at least changes its currency around more to keep things interesting. One reason I collect world coins more so than US is the variety. I have gotten tired of the current US coins and older coins are rather expensive. I am glad we have series in the quarter and dollar coins and the nickel had a partial facelift after a small series. The cent and dime drastically need change. I have always enjoyed the Canada cent and nickel. They are pretty coins.
