[QUOTE="kanga, post: 5256913, member: 9270"]1. Get rid of the cent; go to 5¢ rounding. 2. Redesign the nickel so that doesn't cost more to make than it's face value. 3. Get rid of the $1 bill; there are plenty of $1 coins stored away ... but not the silver-colored $1 coins. Use the Sacagawea; the color difference will help. Probably have to incorporate something like Braille markings for the sighted-impaired. 4. Free all the $2 bills from Gov't vaults and get them circulating. That will help assuage many of the $1 coin "pocket buster" people. 5. Polymer (plastic) currency should be considered. Later, after those changes are largely accepted, 10¢ rounding and $2 coins can be considered. I'm not so sure about $5 coins. Finally, no matter what you do, there will be a group that will complain.[/QUOTE]
