If You Could Bring Back Any Of Those Old Obsolete Coins, What Would It Be?

@Alpha2814 - I would have, but the 5 dollar bill is already in circulation. I just wanted to put a unique amount for a coin on the poll. If this were more of a favorite thread, I would've putted that on the poll. This thread is more based on reviving a unique number of money for a coin into circulation.

As for the 3 cent coin, here you go:

@Coinfrog - Thanks for the welcome. :)

@Omegaraptor - I think pennies make a good donation. They can also be used in wishing fountains, to trade in for coins and cash at the bank, to scratch a lottery ticket, self-checkout lanes, some transit buses(depending on location), stamp machines at a post office, to teach a little kid how to count, use as bingo chips, etc.

I have also used 5 pennies with other coins and dollar bills for lunch money at the high school, and they rounded every item you get there to the nearest nickel. I have also done that at a few other places that round everything to the nearest nickel as well.

to the CCF!

My Vote:

I voted for a winner, that's two since Nov.8th.

"Bringing back" these kinds of denominations implies some actual purpose. I just don't see it. They're never going to bring back metal with intrinsic value, so I'd rather carry paper money than the kind of massive dollar amount in heavy coins you end up toting around in countries with $1 and $2 coins.

I say get rid of the 1 cent and go with a 2 cent.

Would be fun to have all of them back.

I voted for the $4.00 Stella. Its an interesting design not seen too often.

I'd love to see the Peace dollar come back with a $50 face value. Bringing back Gold isn't realistic since the price per ounce is so high that a $20 gold piece would be microscopic. Silver, by contrast, works great right now for high denomination coins since the metal value is around $15/ounce give or take. Caveat - would have to do something to prevent counterfeiting maybe embed a chip.
