<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 22663295, member: 78298&quot;]The dollar coins are not so bad because it&#039;s just a slightly large quarter, but again</p><p>there&#039;s no real way to spend them, especially in the self serve machines which don&#039;t take anything larger than a quarter. While it has been shown it&#039;s probably more economically sound to get rid of dollar bills and just use coins (a dollar coin while it costs more&nbsp; to produce can last for 30 years, 100 years, the dollar bill gets worn very quickly and has to be replaced). This opens the door for 2 dollar coins and 5 dollar coins and they could stop printing billions of 1&#039;s, 2&#039;s and 5&#039;s. But you have to convince people psychologically to carry these coins, and then you have to retrofit everything. Tolls, self serve machines, vending machines, etc. A dollar really doesn&#039;t buy anything anymore and yet we are carrying around a dozen of these notes most times, when a combination of a few coins will handle most transactions with larger bills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
