We Are Dumber Than Canadians

Must we continue to leave the impression that most residents of the United States are dumber than a Canadian? I bought some note cards at the store the other day and received two cents in change. I almost decided to yawn and walk away, leaving those two pennies on the counter. Technically, pennies are worth nothing. I bought cards because, at my age, notes to myself are a handy way to record all the knowledge a person forgets at an age when some of his marbles are missing. Between smart phones and note cards, we older folk have two ways of keeping track of confusing things like how old we are, what our PIN number is at the bank and what our name is. Mind you, I’m not saying I have forgotten my own entire name, but there are moments when I forget my middle name/ Bill Hall , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Should the United States do away with pennies, too?
