Ten years after we in Canada gave up making our 1-cent coin, support is increasing for eliminating our 5-cent coin.
In a recent survey 49% of the survey respondents supported keeping the nickel in circulation, but 40% of us support taking the 5-cent coin out of circulation and that is up four points since a similar poll conducted in three years ago back in November 2019.
Honestly, I don’t miss the penny. It wasn’t something that bothered me at all.
I get a feeling if the Canadian Mint stopped making nickels most of us wouldn’t notice it at all.
Would you care if they got rid of the nickel? Give us your two cents on this topic!
