Message:: [QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2563822, member: 76739"]I recently read an article that our government is going to start doing the same with the older coins. I can say the last vending machine I ran into either accepted dollars or credit card. But I will say in my travels across country I did run into some old vending machines that did except good old American change. I hate to say it but I look at it this way. It seems currency is in the early change of being phased out. You see it every time you go to the supermarket. People paying their bills with their credit card or debit card. That's one thing I find hard to accept. You go into the grocery store you buy one item. You put that item on a debit card not only do you have to pay for that item but you have to pay for the surcharge of using the debit card. It seems people are getting in the habit of spending more money and getting less. The future does not look that bright for currency. Our lives are going to be based on a debit card.USMC60<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie23" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
