<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wazzappenning, post: 1063228, member: 27347&quot;]ok i live in canada and saw the loonie appear. i didnt like it. i thought&nbsp; it made a buck not feel like being real money, just change. my pocket&nbsp; would fill up with them, and i didnt like the feel of it. (we still had&nbsp; $2 bills). when they ditched the $2 bills and replaced them with a coin i&nbsp; was ****ed. it took a while, but i got used to it. and the $2 coin&nbsp; actually made it all better. no longer did you need to have 5 loonies in&nbsp; your pocket to be worth spending. now just 3 coins. i guess what im&nbsp; trying to say is that the $1 coin cant work without a $2 coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>vending&nbsp; machines were adjusted, and there was no big outcry from anyone. if you&nbsp; want a problem with vending machines, try buying a pack of smokes at a&nbsp; bar with quarters, wow, and they cost more now. i know most machines&nbsp; take bills now, but they still give you change for a $20 all in quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>with the economy the way it is, now would be a perfect time to introduce coins. you want people to spend right? when both the loonie and toonie were introduced, they became just pocket change and people wanted to get rid of them. they became worth less in peoples minds, even though they werent. when the loonie was introduced, i worked at a gas station. my tips went up from a quarter or two, to a loonie and change, or two loonies. when the toonie was introduced i delivered pizza. again my tips went up from a buck to two bucks or more.</p><p><br /></p><p>someone mentioned save the greenback. well coins are the greenback. (sort of) i recently watched this vid on you tube (secret of oz) and coins (as the greenback was) are debt free money. federal reserve notes, cost the taxpayer.&nbsp; the bankers loan us paper money and charge interest for the privilege&nbsp; of using it. so any new bills in circulation cost more interest, and add&nbsp; to the national debt.</p><p><br /></p><p>its kinda slow and hard to follow at times but informative. some people disagree with it, but i like how it shows an explanation of why there are so many different types of bills from the past</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U71-KsDArFM" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U71-KsDArFM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U71-KsDArFM</a></p><p><br /></p><p>someone mentioned that we dont get what we want. its simple, but a pain too. if you want change, then refuse all bills. buy your groceries with a bunch of rolls of quarters, and refuse any bills in change. sounds stupid, but if everyone did it, someone would react, and you would probably have $100 coins within ten years.</p><p><br /></p><p>there are just too many good reasons for 1 and 2 dollar coins in my mind.</p><p>sorry this was so long and sorry if you disagree. just dont kill me ok.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
