I'm also not going to swipe a credit card at a McDonalds for a 3 dollar hamburger.
You should. If you can afford to pay off your Visa every month the travel points you can get are pretty great.

What kind of a Canadian still uses non-electronic currency? Tim's started allowing debit a while ago.
I always have some cash with me. Fuck people who don't have cash.
Debit/Credit isn't accepted everywhere, and it doesn't always work.

Wireless credit card payment? It's much faster than paying cash.
Americans would riot if anything got rounded up, even if it was only by a few pennies.America needs to do this.
Are they going to replace it with a 2 cent paper stamp? Their money make no sense to me. I hate the loony/twooney.
Good change, I can't remember ever doing anything with pennies beside tossing them in the money jar.

Everyone here uses credit cards or debit card equivalents in nz. Doesn't get a second glance, bey it 50c or $50.Yeah, I know, but it feels douchey to pay by CC for something that's like less than 10 bucks.
I have a shit ton of pennies in mine collected over 5 years. I probably have like a dollar overall in there.
This is definitely good news, and I hope we include tax on the price tag next.
What's the big deal about tax being on the price tag? Convenience? How hard is it to roughly add 13% on something in your head? If there's a reason other than convenience then I apologize but I don't see this being a big deal.

Personally, I'd like to still see the taxes listed on the receipt if they were combined into the advertised price.On the other hand, not adding it in after does obscure the taxes involved to some degree. If I remember right, there was a lot of talk about that a few decades ago and we decided against it.
The LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario, only liquor distributor in Ontario) lists prices with tax included, and it's awesome. Everything is round to the nickel which is also awesome. Many single beers are $2 exactly, so it's awesome not having to deal with change.What's the big deal about tax being on the price tag? Convenience?

What? What is difficult to grasp about a $1 and $2 coin?

I personally hate the absurdity of walking around with a pocket of coins.

What's so absurd about it?
Having to do that stiff-legged walk when passing by a homeless guy.
I hated the absurdity of walking around with a wallet stuffed full of paper $1 bills.
$1 and $2 coins are great.
I try to use cash at smaller businesses to make sure they don't get screwed by the transaction fees, to be honest.

Well played Harper, distracting us all with the penny elimination while you cut services and fire people
You guys apparently have a hard time telling homeless people "No".
Saw a new 50$ just yesterday. Looks amazing, the colour looks really good (was kinda hard to tell with the brown on the 100$)The plastic $50s just came out. I haven't seen one yet either.
Whoo! Glad to be done with pennies. Just a waste of millions every year.
Quicker with cash until they decide to pop open their change purse and start counting out exact change while trying to skip having to give away anything larger than a quarter.Yes. I use cash almost exclusively unless it's a gigantic purchase. Curse those card users in the express line at the grocery store. It would be much quicker with cash!

isny said:I've used my credit card for purchases under a dollar and don't feel bad about it, this is 2012, no one should have to carry around cash anymore, it's silly.
