<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midtncoin, post: 2895165, member: 89569&quot;]The biggest hindrance to this is the general public&#039;s resistance to change (this has been discussed <i>ad infinitum</i> in other threads).&nbsp; People will not switch to a dollar coin unless banks start giving them out in place of dollars and banks won&#039;t do this because people don&#039;t ask for them.&nbsp; As long as the paper bill is an option, a dollar coin will not work.</p><p><br /></p><p>HOWEVER, the re-issuance of large bills ($500 and $1000) would likely be welcomed by those who prefer to carry cash and would not meet with much resistance.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying it will ever happen but from a public acceptance perspective, large bills would be more likely than the demise of the $1.&nbsp; Thus my original statement that a good path to get rid of the $1 would be to bundle it in any legislation to allow large bills.&nbsp; Kill the proverbial two birds with one stone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
