<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 3096538, member: 56370&quot;]I think the main cause of attrition is the low value of pocket change adjusted for inflation compared to its higher value in previous decades.&nbsp; This is why so many of us stash away our change as soon as we get home with it and don&#039;t cash it in until we have a large amount.&nbsp; Why mess with a pocket full of coins when it only amounts to a couple bucks?</p><p><br /></p><p>The situation is different in other countries I&#039;ve recently travelled to such as Japan and U.K.&nbsp; I found myself hanging on to pound coins and 100 and 500 yen pieces as those add up to a lot of money really fast.&nbsp; If the US eliminated both one and five dollar notes and replaced them with coins our coinage would be more in line with other developed countries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
