<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 2268793, member: 10469&quot;]I like it! Although I think the 1 cent will still be costly to make and will eventually have to phase out. Also, the dime is a really small coin and coins even smaller may have a problem with acceptance by the public. The folks who make coin sorting machines are going to hate this. </p><p>I would like to see the 2 cent.&nbsp; and with a 2 cent you can actually drop the penny and still get every price point except 1 and 3 cents (for example you can still have $0.09 by using a half-dime and 2 Two cent pieces.) and actually you can still exchange one cent if you want, a half-dime for 2 two cent pieces. Yes the 99cent store will be able to keep their name. Yes, folks are going to have to learn to count.... I&#039;m ok with that. So no more &quot;penny for your thoughts&quot; but you can still give your &quot;two cents worth&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>to these I would add $1, $5, $20 and $100 coins. </p><p>$1 - coin copper like the one cent of old (PLEASE get rid of that silly gold look), smooth edge (and also PLEASE stop putting writing on the rim) diameter a bit larger than a current nickle, and thinner so that it does not weigh so much.&nbsp; I really think a lot of the objection to the current one dollar coin has been that people don&#039;t want the weight of 4 one dollar coins in their pocket in regular change. </p><p>$5 - coin copper like the one cent of old - larger than the new $1 but still smaller than the current quarter piece, half and half “interrupted edge,” (where the edge alternates segments of reeding as proposed for the half-dime in the linked article) [and as an aside, the return of Lady Liberty to the coin.]</p><p>The $20 and $100 made of coin silver. The silver coins small enough that the silver content is less than 25% face value so that they will have at least some life before they are worth hording.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
