<p>[QUOTE="coop, post: 1021141, member: 17656"]Why not use silver for coins. Make them a high enough denomination that people won't melt them. Forget the gold coins unless they are valued at a price higher than the gold standard could reach. Then they will cost more to hoard. (I can image what China would do with the copying of this idea.) Or scrap all coins and go to cards instead. Buy a $20.00 card to use for change and reload it when the change is gone. Loose the card and the max your out is $20. </p><p>OR : Stop the dollar bills and use the dollar coins in the slot to the left of the quarters. Make the $2 bills to be used in the dollar bill slot. Get rid of the halves totally for circulation. Give us coins that people would keep instead of throwing them in the street. The pattern coin designs could be used.</p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1879_MorganDime_J-1587_PR_65_RD.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1879_MorganDime_J-1587_PR_65_RD.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1879_MorganDime_J-1587_PR_65_RD.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1871_Longacre_One_Dollar_Pattern.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1871_Longacre_One_Dollar_Pattern.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1871_Longacre_One_Dollar_Pattern.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/marthaquarter.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/marthaquarter.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/marthaquarter.jpg</a></p><p>Make the design of the bills more interesting.</p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1896__1_Educational_Large_Note.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1896__1_Educational_Large_Note.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1896__1_Educational_Large_Note.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1896__2_educational_large_note.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1896__2_educational_large_note.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1896__2_educational_large_note.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
