<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 98429, member: 4552&quot;]Primarily individuals that are lucky enough to live in areas where coins and dollar bills are not very usable are very lucky indeed. I have a coin holder in my car full of change at all times. We have toll roads where coins are important unless you want to wait in long lines where bill are exchanged. I frequent flea markets where you always want to have large amounts of $1, $5 and $10&#039;s to always be able to say I only have XXX. You can&#039;t bargain down from $7 to $4 or $5 and then pull out a $20. Same is true at coin shows, camera shows, gun shows, etc and I go to almost all of them. Where I work there is a room full of vending machines and all take change, some bills but none take the baby $1&#039;s. My drawer at work is full of change. I take a commuter train to work and the conductors will not take the baby $1 coins. If you argue that they are legal tender you find yourself out at the next stop. Complain to who? At most commuter train stops there are parking lots that have boxes that take $1 bills or change. That would be a massive job to put in coin changers for $2 or $5 bills and most would be broaken into every day.&nbsp; Most commuters have lots of change and $1 bills in their cars. No place nearby to get change. Parking violations are expensive. I can&#039;t even imagine how many stores I been in where they are asking if anyone has exact change because they are running out of change and $1 bills. Then we also have those darn parking meters. They all only take change. Anyone that thinks large amounts of change being carried is unnecessary is not living around here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
