<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1139125, member: 22476&quot;]Has anyone else here seen or heard about this? I found it very interesting. It was posted on Where&#039;s George?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" rel="nofollow">http://dollarcoinalliance.org/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I emailed them, urging to advocate either a redesigned $2 bill, to give people a &quot;paper&quot; alternative (for a few years, at least) or advocate a new U.S. bimetallic $2 coin using Canada&#039;s $2 coin as the prototype. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A $2 coin would be the best deal, because, I was told that all vending machines made for Canada come from the same company that makes U.S. vending machines, and Canadian vending machines take $2 coins I believe, which means that they can be made to take U.S. $2 coins as well. So, I say we kill the $1 and $2 bills and the cent, and have cash drawers set up 5c, 10c, 25c, $1, $2. (And maybe find a way to get the half back into circulation. Maybe set up the coin slots 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, $1, and the $1 bill slot could keep the $2 coins in it, along with spare rolls of coins. I will be advocating for vendors to upgrade their machines to take halves if they ever do upgrade to take $2 coins because it would be like killing two birds with one stone)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really wish we could eliminate the nickel too, and replace the quarter with a 20 cent coin, but I think that might cost vendors too much, and you need the nickel to make change for a quarter. But drawers set up 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2 would be nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
