When Will The Dollar Coin Prevail?

Think how they will feel when there are no more ones but plenty of two dollar bills for tips.

What I find interesting is how the plight of how the performance artists will receive tips is always so foremost in the minds of those who are against discontinuing the dollar note. I have to wonder are they just cheap, or do they know some performance artists real well?

more info on "COINS Act" please?

I voted other, because I think it will all happen at the same time or shortly before money all becomes plastic. credit cards and their ilk are a LOT easier and less costly to make than individual bills and coins.

i will amend my other vote once I learn more about this "COINS Act" if need be in a future post.

no reason to be all defensive...



everyone has opinions
including you

And it shouldn't happen. You should never get back more than one dollar coin in change. And right now if you are getting a stack of ones every week I have a suggestion. Rather than letting them accumulate all week (unless you are using them for saving), USE them. Don't just automatically whip out a large denomination note for every transaction.

"When will the dollar coin prevail?"

- When the Government finally makes it's mind up to stop printing dollar notes, and have the dollar coin ONLY available.

In almost every other country, the Government of that country has simply made the changes as significant at that proposed in the above question, with little or no Public discussion.
In almost every case, the Public has simply accepted the change, usually with minimal complaint.

Ultimately it's not really all that much of a big deal.
Dollar coins are cheaper in the long run, and thus save the Public significant expense.

Ohhh dear...i vote today!! Put em in play see what happens!! Id love to do mason jars full of dollar coins!! Make stuffing my kids piggy banks alot more valuable as well!! Hahaha I can think of about 5,000 really fun and interesting places dollar coins would be awesome!

Sadly when it comes to money, people think they they can do no wrong, and being theirs any thing anyone says is an offense because ones finacial position or such is not the business of other people.

I have known way to many in real life like this. Some even ASKED me how to manage their 4k per month income so they could pay their $400 a month rent, and they failed to do so after a month or so and couldn't figure out why.

"Because, I do what I want, YOU CAN"T TELL ME!" is what I am getting here. Same as when the cashiers at a store ask me what they are going to do with the half dollars I spend at them. To which I respond "Give them out for change", which they scoff at the idea.

Hey I have an idea too!




go on a date to a club and use the ones there!

if one doesn't want opinions on fixing a system, then they should not make the details of their system public. Just don't tell people you have "stacks of ones" and call it lesson learned for the future.

Express how you don't like having a lot of coins and that be the end of it without freely and by your own choosing, divulge your finacial details publicly on a forum.

Which you really shouldn't do anyway because no telling who can read these forums that are lurking and looking for someone to prey on.

also, how does one take a general idea not directed at anyone like the one replied to




and take it as a personal thing? I see nothing indicating any singular person was mentioned as being stupid. I want the peny to remain, but take no offense to someone who doesn't as they say on both accounts, "stupid is as stupid does"?

well I looked over the "coin act" from that alliance or whatever, and would hope they don't try to rush things. if we are moving to the $1 coin I say do that first. keep making the $2 as a novelty. leave the coins alone for now until you are ready to bring back halves and people are fully prepared to buy new cash registers since they already dont know what to do with cash that is not:
cent
nickel
dime
quart
dollar-bill
five
10
20

all other cash seems to always require management assistance because the drawer manufacturers are the ones who decide what design they make, and people will need to get used to things slowly with existing registe drawers before revamping the whol thing to accomodate less types of money.

4 bill slots (+1 for checks)
4 coins slots and 1 roll slot

most registers are like this, so what will they do when there is only 3 coins (dollar, quarter, dime), and 3 bills ($20, $10, $5)?

since less people use checks and more use cards, the rolls could move to beside the $20s, and the dollar coins can go beside the quarters without redesigning the trays.

i favor coins because the bill lovers and their prejudice against seeing-impaired makes me sick. or do anyone favoring bills never think how there is NOTHING that a seeing impaired person can do by themselves to distinguish a $1 bill from a $100 bill? Braille won't work on a bill, and isn't needed on coins of various sizes for various denominations.

and I am done with this thread....
