<p>[QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 1300272, member: 22476"]I still stand by my argument that, if we revamp the coinage, to get rid of the penny, nickel and quarter, and replace the quarter with a 20 cent coin, redesign the half to be smaller and thicker and of a nonagon shape, and round to the nearest dime. You can not eliminate the nickel as long as the quarter is around, because you need the nickel to make change for a quarter. Sure it would wreek havoc on vendors at first to change their machines to adapt from quarters to fifths and halves, but in the long run I think it would be worth it, and THAT would save money right there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really don't think any paper money denomination should be eliminated, and a few larger denominations should be added.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, like I said reintroduce the $500 and $1,000 bills and issue a $200 bill to cut down the ever growing demand for $100 bills being printed each year. Think about how printing ten $1,000 bills would cut down on printing a strap of a hundred $100 bills. Or even a $500 bill at least, would still cut back on printing fifty $100 bills.
