<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 234254, member: 8566&quot;]when i was in the UK for a month 11 years ago an interesting thing happened.&nbsp; being so used to bills for the nonfractional denominations, i automatically tossed the coins into the jar.&nbsp; at the end of the month, i had &quot;accidentally&quot; saved over forty 1 pound coins along with a hodge podge of fractional coins.&nbsp; i was so used to treating the coins as worthless, i was quite surprised to find i had a good amount idle in a jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>if the dollar coin is going to gain traction in the US, this idea of treating coins as worthless needs to be countered.&nbsp; dollar coins would be the first to be spent out of pocket since breaking a larger bill would result in receiving dollar coins as change.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>it wouldn&#039;t take long to realize a change in our currency use -- there is no reason to carry more than 4 dollars unless you are heading to a gentlemen&#039;s club - which might be the most vocal group against dollar coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>-Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
