<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ctrl, post: 1288082, member: 13378&quot;]Replacing paper with a coin makes plenty of sense. It&#039;s also true that people don&#039;t usually want to carry around chunky coins when paper folds away quietly, more lightly and less losable. There is a lack of demand, some retailers have stated that they tried giving coins as change but people were just not wanting them, or often thought they weren&#039;t real. Forcing people to use the coin is of course one option, but not necessarily a popular one, however much rational sense it makes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I can go for months without touching a single paper bill or circulating non-collectable coin, or even a check - electronic deposits and all payments go on the card, payed off electronically. I think it&#039;s more conceivable for circulating currency to go away before a dollar coin in the US would become as widely used as the paper bill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
