Should We Make Cents? | 60 Minutes Archive

*You can't make cents out of non-cents. 🤭🤑*

Finally someone called it what it is a cent and not a Penny

The timing is impeccable, and the narrator’s voice and diction are spot-on!

Maybe if you could still cash them in at banks for free instead of paying a percentage to use the machine at the supermarket people would get them back into circulation instead of hoarding their change. That way they wouldn't need to make so many more.

The nostalgia of this broadcast is so mid 2000s coded.

Canada ditched its "penny" and uses Swedish rounding; if it's 1-2 cents it's rounded down to 0 if it's 3 or 4 cents it's rounded up to 5 cents. Same goes for the 6 or 7 and 8 or 9. People quickly got used to it and our pockets felt lighter.

In the five o'clock shadow of the rupees close shave..😂 love the wording

Such an interesting question and honestly, long overdue. When you think about the cost of making a penny or a nickel today… it kind of flips the whole idea of “small change” on its head This episode really makes you realize how many systems we keep running out of habit, not logic. Sometimes it’s not about tradition, it’s about evolution. And maybe it’s time we rethink what actually makes cents in our economy today. Loved this dive into the hidden layers of something we use every day without even thinking. 👏

9:27. Back when Yahoo was THE THING to so many people. 😂😂

Stop making Cents, we have enough in circulation
