<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1313979, member: 26302"]You are correct, but why not make all changes at once, like pulling off a bandaid quickly versus slowly? A $2 coin would have less purchasing power than a quarter did in the 50's. Why stop at just a $1 coin, when even today $1 will not buy you a snickers bar of a can of coke in most places? Do you really think inflation will get BETTER in the future? A $1 coin was a good idea in 1979 if they wouldn't have screwed it up, but its too late for that, today we need both a $1 and a $2 coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be ok with getting back in change, (assuming you can ever buy anything for less than $1), two $2 coins. Most likely, even only buying a candy bar and a drink, the most you would ever get back in change for a $5 would be one $2 coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
