<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1048213, member: 23626&quot;]I truly feel the answer is in the modern printing press. The government can produce currency at a fraction of the cost of minting coinage. Include the transportation and handling costs and it really starts to add up. In short, it is just more economically advantageous to issue currency, even though coinage is more durable. When you consider the huge amount of money the government introduces into the economy each year, it is a significant savings. Add in the factor that banks request currency instead of coinage for the same reason of reducing the handling costs. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
