<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Richard M. Renneboog, post: 2896328, member: 89693&quot;]&quot;the general public&#039;s resistance&#039; says it all. When Canada dropped its paper $1 bill in favour of a $1 coin, the general public didn&#039;t get to choose. It was a case of &#039;the 41 bill will no longer be produced after such-and-such a date but will remain legal tender afterward&#039;. Same thing when we dropped the $2 bill for the $2 coin, and there has been discussion about dropping the $5 bill in favour of a $5 coin, but that got short-circuited when the RCM opted to go to longer-lasting polymer bills instead of paper bills that typically only last between one and two years before they have worn out. I&#039;ve only seen $50 and $100 bills in circulation, never a $500, and unless I am mistaken the largest legal tender bill we have here is the $1000 reserved strictly for physical cash transfers between banking institutions. I&#039;ve never seen one myself, so I kinda take it on faith that they actually exist...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
