Say goodbye to the penny: Feb 4 is the last day of issuance

[MattRoxx]

If you are incredibly cheap you can opt to pay by credit when it is not in your favour and gain an average of 1.25 cents per transaction. Do that twice a day for 17 years and it's like getting a free 30 minute session at an incall!

It was funny a couple of weeks ago, some TV news reporters did "man on the street" interviews and occasionally someone would complain that they'd be losing out to vendors rounding up! How many cash transactons does anyone do in a day, it would probably work out to around the price of a cup of coffee in a year.

Fuck him! What a nerve he has to make an excuse to extort more money from us by rounding up! Bastards should not be allowed to do this. They'll save millions in time by eliminating the penny.

Then petzel is going to spend the next 12 months with his knickers in a knot.
