A Penny For Your Thoughts
Psych! No pennies for you. Why? Because Australia does not have a one cent coin. This occurred to me the other evening when I purchased some goods at a corner store and realized that I did not receive any change when I handed the man $5.00 for a $4.97 purchase. How can this be?? How can you deprive me of my 3 cents? I feel as if you are stealing from me Australia. If you can't hand me 1, 2, 3 or 4 cents back, then you shouldn't be allowed to price something that cannot be paid for with the currency you do have. Erroneous! As my fellow Americans you know that those pennies add up and that this is certainly unjust. I want my cents gosh darn! So I apologize again, I cannot give you all pennies for your comments and thoughts; but if you would all like to send me some American pennies for mine I would not object (except that they would be of absolutely no use to me over here, so perhaps you should hold-off on that).

It does seem odd that they price things with cents even though they don't have a penny coin. Anyway, always good to read your blog. Now when I pay for something using pennies I will think of you! :)
