<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tsk, post: 148146, member: 5858&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; I think making the dollar coin larger would make it very much less popular.&nbsp; The dollar coin is roughly the size of a quarter, and that&#039;s a good size for change.&nbsp; Ever try carrying around a pocketful of half dollars?&nbsp; You can carry around $5 in coins easily with the dollar coin.&nbsp; Although silver in them would be cool, I highly doubt it&#039;s going to change.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that the 2009 cent will be the last one as well.&nbsp; But I suspect the nickel will get replaced with something the same size, but with a different (cheaper) metal content.&nbsp; It&#039;ll severly mess vending machines up if they issue a 5 cent replacement that&#039;s penny sized.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also would be very suprised if they did anything to demonetize the penny.&nbsp; Worst case is I think they would give you a window to cash in your pennies before they demonetized them, but I&#039;m fairly sure they&#039;ll stop making em and merchants will stop giving them back and they&#039;ll just sorta vanish mostly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
