<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1067056, member: 19463&quot;]It is not so much a matter of aversion to coins as it is the fact that coins currently in circulation are only good for things like tax and making $19.95 sound like a better deal than $20.&nbsp; We could stop making all coins under a dime and be where we were fifty years ago when &#039;dime&#039; stores filled the place of today&#039;s &#039;dollar&#039; stores and a small burger at a fast food place was 10 cents rather than a dollar.&nbsp; When the government stops making paper dollars, we will all use dollar coins just like the Euro countries do.&nbsp; Making it optional means it will not happen.&nbsp; No politician wants to admit that it was on his watch that the dollar was not worth what it used to be so the change won&#039;t happen until the US and UK start using Euro type currency (possibly by 2100???).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
