Penny Rounding

costanza;347585 wroteIt's a boy meets girl story, and how they overcame adversity (getting scammed in a new place) .. It has all the goodies including drinking, secks, sight seeing, hand holding, ice skating, expensive restaurants, and then breaking off the relationship because feelings were getting too strong , but then we re kindled and then I left anyways so she's tilted lol

I'll be back to sweep her off her feet tho, I will be her knight in shining armour and the prince she deserves ... :)

God this thread got off track :arghh:

kwsteve;347573 wroteYes, you'd be surprised at how many businesses accept Canadian Tire money at par. All you have to do is ask.

Haha...there used to be a peeler bar in Kamloops that advertised this on a very large banner, on one of the busiest streets in town.

Sick brag, JAH. Well played.

I think I'm the only schmuck working retail here lol.

So far we are still giving pennies and taking them. Had a guest tell me that we couldn't give him pennies as change. I said no problem, took them back, he left and I put them in the donation jar.

No firm date as to if/when they'd stop letting people use pennies. Not a big deal either way money wise. The issue for us is time as our system doesn't automatically round up or down. They're working on a fix but I've heard from a few retailers that they've got the same issue.

Back in the 90's I was selling computers. Sold this old guy an IBM costing somewhere in the $3-4k range. He pulled out three $1k bills and a handful of $100's. I'd never seen or heard of the $1k before. Showed them to my boss. He told me to give the guy a 1/2 hour tutorial on using the machine while he ran the three bills to the bank!

I paid my rent once with a 1k bill. I can't remember how i got it in the first place though...

Read an article about the $1k bills not too long ago in the Post. Though no longer in circulation, there actually millions of dollars worth of them still "out there". The speculation is that they are used to pay off large debts within the organized crime community. Wonder if there were any in that safe the cops seized in Markham?

Top photo grabbed my attention right away as I remembered only ever seeing one once when my dad was proudly sporting one. The actual winners photo later though is all plastic hundo and 50s.

lol, our govt and lack of communication.. Went to sub post office in Shoppers near me to buy 1 stamp... lol, can't remember the last time I needed a stamp.. Anyways clerk says $.71 (are they really that much?), I give here $.75 thinking I'll get a nickel back.. Nope, she gives me 4 pennies.. I ask her, aren't you supposed to round down to nearest nickel, she tells me the post office doesn't do that.. Huh?

You should print this page and carry it around with you.

Phasing Out the Penny

Although, if you play your cards right, you could end up with 100s of extra cents by the end of the year.

How, you may ask ?

By paying cash for any amount that will be rounded down, and debit for any purchase that will be rounded up.
