<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 641987, member: 39&quot;]What, Canadian ones? The US does not have $2 coins, and Italy does not have dollar coins at all ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually it makes sense to me to replace a note with a coin, and then take the corresponding note out of circulation, or at least stop producing it. (See the UK£1 and Canada $1+2 for example.) Another occasion would be if you replace an old currency with a new one (e.g. Turkey: old lira -&gt; new lira). In the euro area that was a little more complicated as several different &quot;setups&quot; had to be combined somehow. In Germany, Spain and the Netherlands, for example, the €1 and €2 coins were perfectly accepted right away; in Italy that took a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>None of this happened in the US though. The dollar notes, even low denomination bills, are still made in huge quantities as far as I know. Don&#039;t think there is any hatred involved - it&#039;s rather a mix of inertia and what one is used to. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
