<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1913819, member: 66"]OK so if you are just issuing new coins that have 10 times the purchasing power, you can still eliminate the windfall to coin hoarders by changing size and/or composition and keeping the old coins at their current values. You buy and item for 70 cents you can use seven old dimes or one new one and get back three new cents (or three old dimes).</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course this creates a REAL headache because now you have to have a cash drawer with spots for all the old coins and all the new ones, Can't keep them in the same slots because you might get mixed up and seriously short change yourself giving out change. Frankly the solution to that would probably just be to stock your register with just the new change and as any old change came in dump it in a bucket for counting, rolling, and depositing back to the bank instead of putting it in the till. Of course then I can see a possible problem with sales taxes unless you want to round off all prices to the nearest dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
