they give out less pennies than you think as most people buy more than one item.

This is a normal post I would advise against it.
all prices will go up by a penny and we'ld no longer have a coin that represents the lowest fraction of our currency.

This is a normal post didn't matter in Australia
they got rid of the one cent a while back I believe.

Here in Vietnam you rarely see any denomination lower than 500 dong (snigger)

This is a normal post The Czechs too
They got rid of the 'heller' coins (the sub-denomination of the Czech crown), and although prices are still charged in crowns and hellers, change is rounded to the nearest crown

I was fine with losing the 1p, then I read the article and realised we wouldn't have penny sweets. I am now against this.

This is a normal post They use to be half penny sweets, when they took that coin away the same sweets became a penny.
It was a dark day that when that happened.

This is a normal post I remember that

This is a normal post Are black jacks racist yet? Hope not because they're tasty.
Fruit salads can get to fuck though.

This is a normal post cool!
I didn't even like fruit salads, there just seemed to be some rule about having to buy an equal number.

I always remember sitting in front of playschool with Brian Cant and Flo Benjamin and Derek Griffiths, eating a big bag of penny sweets, making sure I ate the ones I didn't like first, saving the best till last. No idea why I bought sweets I didn't like.

If this was the 90's I'd have been saying this on TV while you all wondered who the fuck I was.

This is a normal post Haha! I never did that apart from Parma Violets, they always looked like they should taste nice, like refreshers, but they were horrible.

This is a normal post If you take care of the pennies
The pennies take care of the pounds. That's what my nan told me anyway.
I remember when when we had the half pennies but i think they were a bit pointless.
Anyway getting rid of the penny is no good because if something costs 3p we will have to pay 5p.

This is a normal post Or pay with a 5p and get 2p back? Or a 10p and get 5p and tuppence
Or is everyone on here now having to live with their parents because of the recession and have been reduced to 1971 levels of pocket money?

This is a normal post Yes, get rid of the bloody things. And 2p too.
I've been known the chuck them away rather than have them clogging up my wallet. Terrible waste, I know...but fuck you. They make my hands smell funny.

This is a normal post I have three carrier bags full of coins
in my wardrobe. I take all the shrapnel out of my wallet every time it gets a bit full and chuck them in. Once a year I take them to one of those machines in supermarkets where you pour coins in and it gives you proper money back. I have done this for years and normally it gets me a Christmas bonus of around £50-£70 a year.

This is a normal post If you take them to a bank
then you get all the money back- what percentage do those machines charge?

This is a normal post Don't you have to sort them into denominations
to take them to a bank? I think the machines charge a few percent, but you can just pour the bags in.

This is a normal post You lazy bastard.
Get some of those plastic coin bags from the bank, make a lovely cup of tea, put radio four on & sort them out yourself.
