[QUOTE="Cashmoney, post: 1050519, member: 28163"]Ok.... with the bills are easier than coins, then why not just go to an all bill society? Lets go to a 1, 5, 25, 50 cent bills also... if you'r spending your change anyway then no coins makes sense? yes? Personally I think the coins are more practical. But whatever you or I think should not really matter. If the govermnet wants to save money and is hell bent on producing more and more of these coins then they need to do something about it supporting usage. As far as the storage problem. I have spoke to my bank & they say it is a legitimate concern. They are only allow to transact with the mint $1 coins in increments of $1000. This means if they order $1000 worht and I go in and ask for just one roll, then they have the rest sitting in the vault. If I, or noone else requests anyonter roll, they are stuck with the coins. Of course, if people actually used them this wouldnt be much of a problem..... But as is, this is what is going on. I have also run into the lack of avaliblity problem, so I have used them infrequently. But as of today I am going to order from the mint a box of $250 (the direct ship program). Once I receive them I'll start using them on a daily basis.[/QUOTE]
