<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 1744207, member: 2544&quot;]While Mike makes some very good points, he just doesn’t go far enough.&nbsp; If you really want to make fiscal sense, and I know this is utter numismatic blasphemy, we should eliminate coins completely and deal only in credits.&nbsp; Coins are actually obsolete and the only reason we use them anymore is because of tradition.&nbsp; Getting rid of coins would cause a few important things to change (no pun intended).&nbsp; Banking costs would plummet, cash registers would be unnecessary, armored cars would become armored sub-compacts, copper, nickel, silver, zinc etc. would be better used in computer hardware, and thousands more positive changes would save this country billions annually.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now coin collectors would tar and feather the guy that suggests such a move and I would most likely brake out my torch and join them, but the coin has outlived its usefulness and has no real value anyway.&nbsp; The only reason it has value is because we say it does just like the almighty greenback.&nbsp; Since we are only fooling ourselves, why not move to a credit based economy and eliminate the lie of the value of our coins and currency?&nbsp; What&#039;s that on the horizon?&nbsp; It seems to be the glow of torches coming this way. :help!A:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
