Obama's 2013 Budget Seeks Increased Flexibility For Coin Com

Fred, this part of the conversation was focused on how you get 5 ones from a "single" purchase, not what someone had in their wallet. If an item was 2.50 and someone pulled out a twenty, then you wouldnt get 5 ones unless the cashier gave you 5 ones instead of a 5 dollar bill

maybe I should have said a 50 cent soda pop. or maybe a 50 cent ice cream cone. Has the "evil gubmint" raied the prices on those as well? In order for someone to claim someones arguement doesn't hold up, try not to move the goal post so that your reply makes sense. The whole point of the comment was to explain that having a 2 dollar bill and paying for something that cost 50 cents, whether it be a baseball, a frisby or that rick perry bumber sticker on your car, the point was that you will have more change because you've eliminated the dollar bill.

And it really is laughable to see all these comments about why would you want 2- 5 dollar bills when you could have a 10 dollar bill in your pocket? Why would you want 2 quarters in your pocket when you could have a 50 cent piece. Why have 2-ten dollar bills when you could have a $20 dollar bill. Why have 10 ones, 2-5's, 4 10's and 3-20's when you could have...... etc etc etc etc... is there no limit to outdoing one another, and casting the other as inefficient? if anything, holding up a line and wasting peoples time while you nickle and dime the cashier to death so you have the least amount of change or least amount of notes in your pocket is inefficient. DOES IT REALLY BOTHER YOU THAT MUCH?

It apparent you are not a friend of governemnt and the "evil regulations". I have a simple fix for this. move to china. they dont have regulations at all! Try drinking from their rivers, try taking a nice deep breathe of air in the smog infested city. Hey I know, you could counterfeit some coins and sell it to americans. There regualtions are so laxed, you could easily get away with it. That;s what I call unfettered capitalism. The bottom line is that the government is elected by the people. The people are telling the government " I dont care about what old crazy harry on the mountain cliff is saying about no regulations, I want my drinking water safe, I want limits to the speed on interstate highways so that my chances or dying are cut in half.

Take it from me, someone who has see 60 car pileups on the autobaun in germany. Slower speeds are safer. hence the reason why in some areas in germany, the speedlimit is reduced.
