[QUOTE="Levi, post: 1066166, member: 28219"][b]need more than a two dollar coin[/b] As long as the paper dollar is still printed, we don't need [U]either[/U] the dollar coin or the two dollar coin. Yet, since that the govt is evaluating coinage during the next two years, I think we can expect some changes to occur, and I do hope that some [U]comprehensive[/U] recommendations are made. If I were making them, here's what I might recommend: One Cent coin: drop it altogether, or reduce it in size like the euro cent. Fifty Cent piece: reduce the size and change the design to something user friendly. One dollar coin: status quo Two Dollar coin: Begin minting one that is user friendly and easily discernible from the $1 coin One dollar bill: Stop printing them (end the $2 bill, too) Five dollar bill: I could see replacing it with a $5 coin like the Swiss. I'm not sure the nickel, dime or quarter need to be messed with, but I do expect the material might be changed to something less expensive. So yeah. We do need a two dollar coin.[/QUOTE]
