And then, TO THE POLLS! Let's see what AK VOICE says about the little copper wonder. Is it a waste of time and money? Is the rounding that the Canadians now do the sign of the fall of Capitalism? Is using copper environmentally irresponsible and a good reason to ditch the penny? Do you make great artwork out of them by hammering them into fun shapes? Whatever, answer the poll and then take to the comments to give your...uh...two cents.
