Paratroopa1 04/03/12 12:40:00 PM #31:	Holy s*, nice work Canada. You looking at this, U.S.? Your lack of progressivism is why the Canadian dollar is stronger these days. Get rid of the penny, and while you're at it take a serious look at the nickel. These coins are so out of date it's ridiculous. We should just start rounding to the first decimal place instead of the second from now on. And let's also take a look at the dollar bill. Paper money has an extremely short lifespan compared to coins. 5 dollar bills and up are fine, but there's a reason Canada uses 1 and 2 dollar coins. I'd like it if we had 2 dollar coins. I really like the toonie. The only major downside of having a lot of coins is that they weigh more than bills, but this isn't a huge deal since I don't carry a lot of cash these days anyway. Is it blasphemy to get rid of the iconic 1 dollar bill with Washington's face on it? Holy crap I don't care, there's more important things to be worrying about. Put his face on the 50, who gives a s* about Grant anyway? <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:979409] in Canada abo... [t:62429578]...</cite> <quote> Holy s*, nice work Canada. You looking at this, U.S.?

Grand Kirby 04/03/12 2:26:00 PM #38:	From: Paratroopa1 \| #035 You know what? Canada has cooler money than the U.S. too. There, I said it. Our green money is boring and frumpy. Canada has sweet ass color-coded bills. No way. Rainbow money is so stupid looking. I hate how US money has become less green and more colorful too. -- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean?
