<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 677048, member: 18157&quot;]Ok, here&#039;s an off-the-wall opinion...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today, we have coins that didn&#039;t exist 45 years ago. True, there were pennies and nickels 45 years ago, but they had the purchasing power of today&#039;s dimes and half dollars. There weren&#039;t any coins in 1964 that had the purchasing power of today&#039;s pennies and nickels.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m of the opinion that we should have 10 cent, 50 cent, and dollar copper coins the size of dimes, pennies, and nickels. We should have 5 dollar, 10 dollar, and 20 dollar silver coins (or bimetal...copper and silver) the size of nickels, quarters, and halves. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Both copper and silver have great anti-viral/anti-bacterial properties that would be great in flu season. Paper money is made of linen...it&#039;s like trading in other people&#039;s dirty underwear. Paper money should be restricted to 100, 500, and 1000 dollar bills.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The US Mint is supposed to make coins for commerce. We should stop making BS coins that no one will ever use. Unfortunately, politics gets in the way and we end up with a bunch of big dollar coins that no one uses and pennies/nickels that no one wants. :crying:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
