Rickford not sorry to see Penny go

The Canadian one cent piece is going the way of the dodo bird today.

The Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg produced its final penny today.
Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says the penny has really outlived its usefulness and cost
the federal government more than it was actually worth.

Rickford says the penny will still be able to be used as long as they remain in circulation.
