Today we celebrate the penny. Or, if not celebrate the coin, we highlight its existence as it is, ‘National One Cent Day’. What is one cent good for?

A penny saved is a penny earned is no longer something Canadians will be saying as the Royal Mint as done away with pressing new pennies. It costs more to make a penny than a penny is worth. It costs 1.6 cents to make a cent. Canada has stopped making the penny because it no longer makes cents. Okay, I’ll stop with the puns.
