Canadian Pennies Gone Extinct

Farwell pennies. As of around 9:50 PM, about 2 hours after of the surging game of the Super Bowl, Google made a doodle about them as well. Pennies will stop distributing on Monday.

At most business they will still accept them in denomonations of 5, but businesses can't order them anymore, so once they run out of them (Ie they give them to the bank every week) They will be gone in a few years probably.

I hope they run out of circulation. Probably just going to keep a really shiny one, the proceed to toss the rest in the garbage where they belong.
