CANADIAN WRITER DOUBTS U.S. WILL ABOLISH CENT

Dick Johnson writes: "Saskboy, a Canadian undoubtedly writing in
Saskatchewan, believes Americans will not dump the cent and nickel
coins even though it is costing more to make them than their face
value. He states the United States has not adopted the metric system,
so why should it dispose of two obsolete coin denominations?

"Are you implying we are a backward country, Sask Baby?  We'll show
you! We are going to stop minting 2-cent, 3-cent and 20-cent coins!
Oh! Wait a minute. We have done that already."
