I'm fairly certain it cost more to print and send

I just got a bill for 72 cents.

Now really, just what is the point of that supposed to be?

I am looking forward to telling them they each owe me 24 cents.

I think the last time a friend told me I owed him some X amount of cents I actually threw the payment at his head. Good times.

(Then again, I throw pennies at friends for my own amusement regardless)

Oh yeah, you guys still actually use one cent pieces.

Ain't nothing wrong with throwing things at people. It can be highly entertaining.

I think we're phasing it out. I actually use mine occasionally, since I'm that rare freak of a customer who likes paying with exact change.

Oh it is. The people in question just generally don't find it as entertaining as you do.

I can barely remember when we still used them in Australia (though wiki tells me it was 1992).

It depends what you are throwing at them.

New Zealand's phased out 5c pieces too, it's nice having everything as round numbers.

The don't ever have 5 cent coins there?

Truly, it is a mad, mad world we live in.
