An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Ohioguy wrote: with coins, which are heavy and hard to handle and store, and there is really no easy way to convert them into something lighter is pretty much just self-indulgent BS on your part. dollar bills - last 30 months in curculation dollar coins - last 30 YEARS in circulation dollar bills - easily spread disease dollar coins - have natural microbial action from the metals used dollar coins would save the US half a BILLION dollars a year, compared to bills you forgot to add in the problem AND INTENSE COST of transporting and storing these modern wonders of yours. Dollar coins are HEAVY. How much time AND ENERGY do you want to spend transporting them around? Dollar bills - lightweight and very compact, can easily bundle large amounts of money into a small space and transport it easily and efficiently dollar coins - none of the above Go ahead, find someone who manages a sales and service route for a vending machine company, or maybe the guys who collect quarters from parking meters. Ask them their opinion on changing out dollar bills for dollar coins. As for "spread disease," you're just making that up out of whole cloth, simply because you don't have a good argument for changing to dollar coins. Your brand of eccentricity is yours--don't foist it off onto the world as "normal". I don't find them heavy or difficult to handle or store. However, perhaps we should do what Canada did and introduce $2 coins, and $5 coins. You don't handle and store thousands of them every hour of every day. |

Ohio Guy,
I suppose you loved the Susan B. Anthony coin, however it did not go over very well and was only minted for four years! |
