<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1087580, member: 26302"]I agree that the cent needs to go, and the half is obsolete due to people not wishing to carry such large coins. If we were going to do it, though, we should adopt Canada's model and just go straight to one and two dollar coins, with the smallest bill being a $5. Most change drawers would have room for $1 and $2 dollar coins if the cent were dropped, since most have an extra space for weirdo items like halves, dollar coins, etc now. Its like a bandaid, better to just make the adjustments all at once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
