What say you all

again there is talk of dollar coins.

There is no way you can change an American.

They aren't open to the metric system or dollar coins.

Whats the consensus in here

Being Canadian, I do like our loonies and toonies.
When I travel in America, it feels like such a waste to have all of those dollar bills taking up good pocket space.

You would rather have a pocketful of coins!
 
Coins suck. Less coins, not more, please.
 
Drop the penny, adopt the dollar coin. Continue the push for plastic to be the primary tool of exchange.
 
We are dropping the penny here except for electronic transactions...cash will be rounded.

You can't buy drugs with plastic:(
 
Funny thing about pennies. I despise them for their near-uselessness yet I will pick one up off the ground to put in a jar.

We'll see how long that lasts now that I'm seeing smart phones that can read plastic. Just come up with a legit business name, or hell wait until someone comes up with an app where you don't even need that.

So will I, but if I'm given change anything smaller than a quarter (unless I'm at a drive through, in which case ashtray it is) gets tossed into that donation box with the sad sad little boy on it. And not because I give two shits about him but I just don't like pennies, dimes or nickels.

So to keep people from buying drugs, you're going to spend millions on changing the method of currency, and billions on incarceration... rather than just making drugs legal, and solving the problem.

:rolleyes:
 
What's to stop every drug dealer from opening a merchant acct with Visa? Hookers do it.

Believe it or not, I really don't know how hookers are paid...I had always assumed cash but maybe the escort services take Visa.

Either way, I just wondered what this group thought about changing to dollar coins

But as always with the GB...................:rolleyes:


wait a second...how come you know so much about paying hookers KR

I think you're trying to change the topic...and you actually save money with coins

I used to take the Progeny to lunch with dollar dollar bills from turning in wrapped pennies. It's funny, my bank is always glad to accept them, and always asks if I have more.

So did I, but the price of twinkies went up.
