What, They Don't Have CoinStar?
-
The talk about Canada eliminating pennies and the U.S. considering it prompted this BBC article about the most worthless coins in the world, coins that are worth a fraction of a fraction of a U.S. penny. You can't buy anything with them, and they're more trouble than they're worth, so they aren't even minted anymore. You get chahge in things like gum or boxes of matchsticks, or they round prices up or down. Chances are you'll never go shopping in Uzbekistan, but at least you'll know why you aren't getting exact change if you do. (BBC)
