It was a cold and snowy February morning, as the two sombre young men went out to the woods carrying a large wooden chest. Little Nami, who was curious and wanted to see what they were going to do, followed behind. When they came to the clearing, Kyle and Maya dug a large hole. They opened the chest to take one last look at what lay inside - the very last of the large copper coins they had been saving for some future dream. Nami picked up one of the coins and held it close. It was hard to believe the big shiny coin was now worthless.
Kyle touched her shoulder, "It's time to put it back now", but she just held on to it all the tighter. No more saving up for future dreams - they were now officially penniless.
Yesterday the Royal Canadian Mint officially took the penny out of circulation.
They stopped making them some time ago, but as of today they are no longer
legal tender - unless presented to a bank in a roll of fifty. So, better go roll
up all those saved pennies and cash them in before it's too late!!
Anyway, I just thought it might be fun to mark this historic occasion with a doll photo.
Now all of us Canadians are officially penniless.
