See?  Canada has been doing it right, for years!!  Canada still make pennies? 

How much does it cost to make a penny these days?  More than it's worth.  Costs something like 1.5 cents to make a 1 cent coin.

They should take that 'specimen' watermark out, or else people will think they're fake.

they put that mark just on those that you see as a picture so that way no one can print them off there computer

No kidding

Still says "In God We Trust".

What year is this?

Yeah, God is soooo not trendy in 2008.

Maybe we should say "In the higher power we trust" to be politically correct.

Maybe we should just not be ramming it down people's throats.

Was the big purple 5  inspired by Sesame Street? 

Nope.  Barney.

And the line should read "In Baby Bop we trust".
