<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 25179337, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;d love to see it. As I keep saying, our current coin denominations are obsolete.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the fact is, <i>change itself</i> is becoming obsolete. For a vast and growing majority, change is the stuff that you scoop up off the table or counter and put into a jar when you get home. Every once in a while, you take the jar and empty it into a coin counter. Or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we came out with half-eagle/eagle/double-eagle coins -- heck, go ahead and issue half and full <i>Unions</i> -- people would just grumble that they&#039;d rather have paper money, the same way they do when you offer them dollar coins. Unless we discontinue the lower denominations of paper money, and if we can&#039;t even do that for the $1 note, it&#039;s not happening for the 5 or 10 or 20.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
