People who work in small / medium retail will often find themselves with many one dollar bills (and other bills)....my mother runs a snack shop at a race track and at the end of the day she has a huge amount of low denomination bills.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">What do you think SHE would prefer...to be able to strap those lighter bills into a stack, throw them into a money bag and take that lighter bag to the bank? Or do you think she would rather deal with a large amount of heavier coins (more than she already does) into a sack and roll them or lug the much heavier sack/s to the bank. I can tell you that I KNOW what she would prefer.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Anyone who has worked in retail and had to prepare a drop off at the bank will know this and the more ones you end up getting at the end of the day...I would think the less coins you want.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Don’t get me wrong…I like the idea of dollar coins as a collector but the business side of me sees that there is a reason why bills are preferred by retailers and a bunch of collectors longing for circulated larger denomination coins wont change the fact that bills are lighter, take up less space, easy to handle, easy to carry, folds, etc…there are simply jobs that require a person to carry and deal with a lot of ones and if its between metal and paper…business, IMO, will choose paper.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
