<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2681371, member: 27832&quot;]Taking the broadest view, I guess [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] and I are in agreement that cash is on its way out. It&#039;s just so <i>convenient</i> to swipe or wave something you&#039;ve always got with you, instead of worrying about getting cash, swapping change, and so on. In the end, in general, convenience trumps any other concerns.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think going back to PMs in coins is a complete non-starter, but [USER=34882]@Blissskr[/USER]&#039;s point about a $100 coin with $17 &quot;intrinsic&quot; value is interesting -- because that&#039;s not far off from the current $14 &quot;intrinsic&quot; value of $100 worth of dimes, quarters, and half dollars. To put it another way, if general inflation devalues the dollar by more than seven-fold, <i>all</i> our circulating coins (except those beloved SBAs/Sacs/Presidential dollar coins) will be worth more than face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
