<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 7575038, member: 92655&quot;]I thought about this before I posted. I am fully aware that being an old guy set in his ways that I am firmly in the &quot;don&#039;t make me change my life again&quot; camp. </p><p><br /></p><p>I still do far more cash transactions than I do card transactions. Being a coin guy I tend to watch those around me when I am at a check out counter and I do recognize that I am in the minority here. However, there are still many cash transactions taking place. I know the banks aren&#039;t overstocked with cash and the way we are printing the stuff it has to be going somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always watch the floors on my way out of a place of business. The folks that don&#039;t want to trouble with cents often drop them on the floor. Being a miser, I pick up every one I see..... But, think for a moment about how our society has left the days of politeness in the dust. How many times will the till ring up $4.98 and when the fellow hands over his five and doesn&#039;t receive his two cents.... The guy having a bad day just may jump over that counter to get his change. This sort of crazy acting happens all the time these days over ridiculous stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s the other thing. Yes, I do believe we have minted enough cents to fuel cash transactions well into the foreseeable future. Thing is, we all know what will happen. As soon as the mint announces the cent will no longer be struck for business use, everybody will then hoard their cents and the supply will dry up faster than a puddle in the Texas sun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two cents![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
