<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Doug21, post: 357601, member: 5650&quot;]Colorado is more progressive than most of the nation ( I once lived in Co Springs). Nationally this coin will never work.... unless we go Canadian style:</p><p><br /></p><p>$5 bill is smallest paper, no more $1 bills. Their Loonie and twonie work, because you have no choice but to use them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t even think you need the deuce, you&#039;d never have more than 4 of the $ coins at a time... just like you never have have &gt; 4 quarters. Halves no longer are a circulating coin, not sure about in Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>Force the use, it will work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern coins last virtually forever. I have never seen a clad coin that was worn out, like an old AG Barber Silver dime. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Nickels are tough too, never seen an AG Jefferson, rarely a Buffalo, only really V-nickels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cents... never seen an AG memorial either, rarely even see a copper one anymore ! the zinc ones must just get thrown away or something, so they make 10 billion more every year... never seen an AG one of those either !</p><p><br /></p><p>For practical purposes, coins last forever. Once minted it will circulate until lost , or until it becomes worth more as metal and Gresham&#039;s law takes over. A coin really never needs replacement from wear unlike paper monies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins ( and paper money) will be a memory within 20 years anyway, we surely won&#039;t be using cash in 2030, but I don&#039;t expect to live that long anyway... I&#039;m old.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ikes and mini-dollars... never seen a worn out one either</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are tough buggers that can stand a lot of use, unlike paper[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
