Replace dollar with silver dollars

To be honest i really dont want the tokens aka dollar coins replaced i really want the silver dollars the morgan dollars the ones that are big replaced instead becuase they do not look like tokens or quarters if they cant do that bring back the eisenhower i think if they replaced dollars bills with those coins just mint only couple million morgan dollars a year i think it could work

Too big. That's precisely why the ikes didn't catch on. As well as being a base metal plus they didn't kill the note. Seated, Morgans, peace etc were silver and the size was needed due to weight standards so people accepted them plus back then pockets really weren't commonplace until well into the Morgan run. People kept them in pouches. Nobody today will accept a large dollar coin period. Small ones can catch on but it will require the $1 note to be killed.

 

Not to mention he is asking for coins whose metal value far exceeds face value.

 

Yeah I wasn't clear on whether he wanted actual silver or not so I dismissed that on both counts

 

I want to see you repeat that without inhaling.

PS. Welcome to the neighborhood!

 

True you can read it both ways. Imagine how hard that would be striking clad Morgans or Peace

 

Clad Morgans or Peace? Puhleeeze...

 

I said eisenhower dollars not clad morgan or peace dollars

 

Clad morgan dollars would just look wierd

 

they would look like this


But not like this

 

Face it, the future is " digital plastic ". Maybe sad , but true unless someone breaks bitcoin's scheme badly and threatening so it can be cracked significantly, the banks are tired of physical money.

 

With digital plastic, banks would be laying off 95% of their workers.
All deposits would be electronic. There's no need for withdrawals or ATMs as there is no cash. So no need for tellers, ATM cards/ machines.
You would need a few "officers" to handle customers/business. And a couple tellers
to input and check data.

 

Cash is an inconvenience.

Coins are even more inconvenient.

The future of money is electronic - as are most transactions today.

 

Weird!

Weird that folks actually believe that coins are something other than what they are.

Tokens.

 

Even weirder what they believe about a little slip of paper with numbers printed on it....

 

Physical money won't actually end, there are still plenty of purchases people make with cash they they don't want on their credit cards. As long as there are people hiding spending from their spouses there will be cash. That said electronic money is going to take a bigger percentage of transactions which the internet has played a significant role.

 

I always spend coins. The coin acceptor at the supermarket is the greatest invention since the light bulb.
What am I supposed to do? Put it in the Coin Star and let them keep 11% of my money?

 

There is this wonderful thing called punctuation. You should try it sometime.

If you had used punctuation, your point would have been a little clearer. What you wrote sounded like my seven-year-old sister trying to tell a story while she was on a sugar high.
