We seem to be ok without the penny but what if the nickel was removed from circulation?
Turns out quite a few Canadians are not a fan of coins in general.
This study shows that 40% of Canadians would be ok with getting rid of the Nickel.
The study found that across Canada, 43% of residents aged 18-to-34 are in favour of taking the five-cent coin out of circulation. The proportion is lower among their counterparts aged 35-to-54 (38%) and aged 55 and over (37%).
