if you didn’t already know

i’m canadian

i live near vancouver in whichever direction and visit that city often

 

i’m not one of those canadians that hiss at anything and anyone that’s american, quite a few of my online friends are american so you kind of just have to deal with it

BUT

 

i hate your money. i absolutely hate it. 

in canada, all of our bills are different colours. we have the loonie, which is a coin that represents one dollar. we also have the toonie, which is a coin that represents two dollars. we don’t have any pennies. 

WHY DO YOU GUYS HAVE ONE DOLLAR BILLS??? WHY DO YOU HAVE PENNIES??? WHY ARE THEY ALL THE SAME COLOUR??????

i also hate the fact that everything a measured in feet and pounds. like, canada does the same sometimes but we also have meters and grams which makes my life better. 

 

why am i discussing this?

 

i am currently somewhere in seattle, the city that looks a ton like vancouver and is making me incredibly depressed that i’m not home. i’ve never felt this before. i walk down the street and i see a ton of trump posters and think “why are canadians so caught up on trump?” but then i realize that this is america.

 

its weird

america is cool but pls

at least get rid of that stupid penny

it takes four pennies to make one penny and that's why we canadians got rid of it pmsl.

anerica just likes to be insanely unique, which is why they're basically the only ones who use fahrenheit and not celsius

Because it's America and not Canada. It's not supposed to be a carbon copy of Canada.

They’ve actually tried doing away with the penny, and as time has gone on, colors have started to differentiate a lot of the dollars. Ones are just plain green, fives a more purple-green ( ew ?? ), tens are yellow, twenties are green and blue, fifties more pink and purple, and hundreds are blue b u t
there are still a lot of old
ugly
Old ones because they can’t draw them back into circulation and get rid of them
trust me
it
it really does i hate how fives look like fifties and i wish we used our dollar coin more
we dont even use our two dollar bill, you have to ask for that specifically from the bank and it’s lame
the currency is lame
i just like the numbers in my bank account

*coughs* I’m quite frugal with my money and even though some people have their own opinion that the penny is worthless, my dad taught me from a very young age that it’s not. Every penny counts. It’s valuable and may come in handy one day. But hey that’s just me and that’s how I was raised. Plus I have a bank full of pennies I collected when I was a kid and I still collect pennies so you can imagine how much I have saved up. Also where I’m from in the US, they have a machine in a local bank that when you put tons of pennies into it they translate how many dollars it would be. So if you put 100 pennies into the machine it gives you a dollar. Of course a dollar isn’t much or doesn’t seem like much but it goes a long way. Plus some pennies are supposed to be given away. My grandma taught me that a certain penny called a wheat coin that I don’t think the US Government even makes anymore and some people like my grandma, collects those pennies cause they’ll definitely be worth something someday. So actually no, a penny is not entirely worthless. Especially if you collect them. Also some schools around where I live have fundraisers where if you donate a good amount of pennies they’ll give you pasta from Olive Garden. So yeah pennies still hold a bit of relevance.
