With the demise of the penny in Canada, the penny is surely doomed here in the US. It is just a matter of time before it is discontinued.
But once the penny is gone, there are a lot of phrases that won’t make sense. So here, without further ado, is my list of updated phrases to be used when the penny is no longer legal tender.
- “I’m giving my 10-cents’ worth.”
- “A nickel saved is a nickel earned.”
- The Beatles‘ song would have to be re-released as Nickel Lane
- People would wear nickel loafers.
- Small wind-up cars would be nickel racers.
- Maranatha will have their nickel fair.
- “Nickel wise, fiver foolish.”
Would Nickelback then be promoted to Dimeback?
What would happen to penne pasta?
Any other phrases?
A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.
