that's one of the few downsides of being a part of such a large country ... it takes twice as long for changes to be accepted by everyone

we dropped 1 and 2 cent coins out of our currency almost 10 years ago, and round every up or down to the nearest 5c ... if the u.s. did that it would effect the economy in a much bigger way than our country of 19 million people, so your stuck with the penny for a while i reckon ;-)

although usa leads the way in most computer technology, we've got cell phone technology that's years ahead ... because you can overhaul the entire cell phone network of australia with a roll of wire and some cable ties ... oh, and a ladder. so whenever something new is invented they use australia to experiment

:P
