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.

I think Canada has $1 and $2 coins.

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!
