[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3847884, member: 15588"]As long as currency changes are tied to acts of congress in the US, change will remain either slow or nonexistent. Canada doesn't have this problem, so they eliminated the cent and the dollar bill with relatively little effort. I am now to the point of pretty much never using cash, coin or currency. I don't need it. All of the vending machines near me take plastic, every store I shop in takes plastic. Buying online doesn't even have a cash option.
