<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lev99, post: 3898431, member: 103627&quot;]Lot of good observations I had never considered. Many thanks for the response. </p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like the observations on coins are part of a much larger trend where people are apparently questioning the use of coins, and at some future point should anything change, then the nature of money will simply change automatically to fill the role. </p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like the level of knowledge a lot of people know about this topic, and from the levels of disuse of average coins, and from monetary losses of at least pennies and nickels to produce, the system may be closer to changing than it is to staying the same. 13 years of losses on minting pennies and nickels is quite a trend. Losses must have begun around 2006. I guess if there’s plenty of taxmoney greasing the gears, no one will bother. From what I notice the only thing that causes change is pain, unfortunately. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=57463]@kaparthy[/USER] I’ll have to check out the 1930s dissertation you mentioned. I never could find your ANA topic on the future of numismatics, though I did see what you’d posted on economy of cities by Jane Jacobs. Interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
