<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 479599, member: 39&quot;]Seems that most people in the US think of coins as change that you get back, say at a store, and then put away somewhere. With &quot;paper&quot; on the other hand, even if it&#039;s only a rag dollar, you can buy something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was interesting to see how different the &quot;mindsets&quot; in different parts of the EU were before the euro changeover: In most countries it was (and of course still is) perfectly normal to not only get coins back but also use them when you pay. In others there was this &quot;coins are worthless&quot; mentality before the changeover, and it took those people a while to learn that a €2 coin (about $2.70 these days) is not exactly negligible junk, or coin jar fodder ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that part of the State Quarters success story was that you would come across them in everyday life. Won&#039;t work with the $1 coins. But it may work again with the NP quarters, especially if they (at least the first couple of issues <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) are nicely designed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
