<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 433232, member: 4552"]The main problem with any new denominations of coins such as a $2 or $5 is no one would use them. If they stopped making paper currency there would be massive protest from the general public. As coin collectors most of us forget that the average individual is basically lazy and that is why they will not carry those baby dollars. No one wants to weigh themselves down with any additional weight. Almost all coinage will become a thing of the past soon enough. My Son already is one the future generations that carry only plastic. He carries absolutely no cash at all now. An attempt to make people carry additional coinage of larger denomiations would only increase the use of plastic and completely drop all currency and coins. </p><p>Ever see those adds about insurance where the guy says at the end of the day he takes all his change and puts it in a jar. That is the majority of people. No one likes to carry change of any kind anymore. All attempts to make other coins will fail as the baby dollars already have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
