Usually tens or less and it is absolutely NOT a problem as I rarely tote around over $200. If I DO have more cash on hand it means I am making a larger purchase and at that point larger denominations are quite handy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for those that search dollar coins I ask you. If you find 5 coins worth keeping out of $119 do you just go out and shop with the remaining 114? Not saying I&#039;d carry 114 singles around with me all day but I have done 50 notes on MANY occasions with no problem. Did it today if you think about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until they ger rid of the $1 note (and as a currency collector as well as a coin collector I hope they never do) the mint/government needs to stpop wasting the effort on $1 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>To this day I have still NOT seen anything newer than a Sacagawea in circulation in my neck of the woods.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
