Aussies can not give their 2 cents worth


Recommended Posts

Our 1-cent and 2-cent coins have not been officially in use since 1992, as the article notes.

If someone still has a jar of them at home, and brings them in to the bank, the bank will still recognize them and can change them into more up-to-date currency or add them to your bank balance. I occasionally see a few floating around.

As for 5 cent coins - I have a money box, like one of those "charity tins" that collectors rattle in the street, sitting on the shelf at home, and every week or two I go through my purse and cull out the 5-cent shrapnel which just takes up space. It took me about 3-4 years to fill the last one, which went to ADRA and contained about $80 when it was full. I have just started the new one, which is marked for ICC (International Children's Care).

International Children's Care

(taking the opportunity to put in a free plug for one of my favourite charities - and I'm naturally biased because my brother and sister-in-law are involved with this one."

One time I went through my purse and fished out all of the 5c coins and put them in the charity box - and it came to exactly $1 that week. The following day, I was walking along the shopping mall and there was a bright shiny $1 coin lying on the ground. Further proof that God has a sense of humour!

Are you trying to say that while Aussies have no cents, Americans have no sense?

Hey ... let's not get mean towards the Americans. lol Just because Americans have cents doesn't mean they don't have sense.

Am I making myself clear? Or do I lack sense?

May we be one so that the world may be won.
