[QUOTE="CC20gold, post: 645815, member: 19604"]Funny you should mention this idea...lol. In Argentina, there is a coin shortage right now. Many businesses, instead of giving out "precious" change, give out candies instead. For everyone: IMHO, here's what our circulating coins should be: 5c - Borrow Canada's nickel plated steel composition. 10c - leave unchanged 25c - leave unchanged 50c - eliminated $1 - present composition $2 - bimetallic with a brass center and cupro-nickel outer ring. It should be SMALLER than the $1. Not larger like Canada's Toonie. Mint sets should have 1c (95% copper) all way up to $2 coin, including 50c. No more stinkin Zincolns. I am getting sick of getting those ratty looking things in change.[/QUOTE]
