[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2469397, member: 27832"]This is true, of course. But people [I]always[/I] wanted a ten-cent coin with less than one-tenth the weight, and a 25-cent coin with less than one-quarter the weight; such coins circulated until they were slick. What do you suppose people would want [I]now[/I], though, [B]if they stopped to think about it[/B] -- now that a dollar is closer to the buying power of those old ten-cent coins, but pocket size and fabric strength are much the same as ever? Personally, I think it's moot; cash, especially change, will be irrelevant within my lifetime (and I'm old enough to be a grandfather). I'd be happy to be proven wrong, of course -- as long as it's not by shortening my lifespan![/QUOTE]
