So, Canada decided today to remove the penny from circulation... http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-29/canada-e…
Should the U.S. do the same? What would some non-obvious effects be?
I was reading an interesting article in Barron's about how removing the penny here would not only impact Main Street, but also widen bid/ask spreads in trading. Thoughts?

The elimination of the penny would only take place on cash transactions. Anything done through debit/credit cards, cheques, stock quotes, etc. would still have normal decimalization and treatment.
