<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rush2112, post: 1296497, member: 25570&quot;]Up here in Canada, we haven&#039;t had a $1.00 or $2.00 dollar bill since the late 1980&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>They did, however, introduce a $1.00 and $2.00 coin. I couldn&#039;t imagine everyday transactions without them. I hear no complaints about them. The $2.00 coin is a 2 piece coin and if I recall right, when first introduced, they had problems with the centers falling out.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the government saving money, it cost&#039;s 13 cents in Canada to make a $1.00 coin and a U.S. printed note costs about $.10.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rational is a $1.00 coin will last much longer than a paper note.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/08/news/economy/dollar_cotton_prices/index.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/08/news/economy/dollar_cotton_prices/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/08/news/economy/dollar_cotton_prices/index.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
