When I was in England, I asked for a roll or two of Pennies. They didn't have any rolls since their coins come in sealed plastic bags. Going to the Market was challenging since the British have way different food preferences than what is typically found in the states. At check out and paying with English currency, the clerk, without hesitation, counted back my change with a 2 lb coin, 1 lb, coin a 50 pence piece and various other coin. I observed this action repeatedly while waiting in line to check out. Not a single person complained. In the States, we reserve the right to keep things as simple as possible thereby protecting our ignorant bliss in order to whine about how much the government wastes our tax dollars just so we don't have to actually think. By that, I mean, how difficult would it be to incorporate dollar and/or 2 dollar coins into the market place. Not difficult at all yet we continue to waste money on producing bills and coins which cost more to produce than they are actually worth just so the public doesn't have to use their peanut for anything other than a whining tool.[/QUOTE]
