The dime will be the new cent, the dollar coin the new dime, and the ten dollar note will be the new one dollar bill. It would also eliminate the need to have a "new cent" and "new dollar" with the new values (and eliminate the finite period for people to exchange their old money for the new money). Oy, don't get me wrong (I know what you mean), but that just sounds like inflation to me. XP |

I hate to tell you, but the inflation has already occurred. If it had not, we would not be discussing the elimination of lower denominations or a shift in the decimal point.  |

 I've got to stop reading all this depressing stuff, I wish I could full on explain exactly what they are doing and what will happen as we have been there done that many years ago and people still don't except it but due to my brain injury and the lack of understanding I really couldn't be bothered. Sorry if I upset anyone but this is bull and nothing will ever change or get better while we all keep sticking our heads in the sand and saying it's all good..I'll come back in a few years when your all posting about what they're doing and how bad it is and I can say I tried to warn you  I can tell you all from personal experiance, that like the old saying "you don't know what you have til it's gone" anyone that's been sick or injured knows exactly what I'm talking about as we all take way too much for granted, end of rant, thanks for your time and patience..be good to your selves and each other  |

They quit minting Half Cent, large cent, Two Cent, Three Cent, and Twenty Cent coins; not to mention all of the classic designs from our past. Yet, people still manage to find a way to collect them. I always say, just because mint makes it, does not mean you have to collect it. It is also true that because the mint no longer makes it, does not mean you have to stop collecting it. I doubt that whatever the mint or the government does to circulating coins will destroy hobby. Change it, maybe, but never destroy. |

Due to Cancer I lost my bladder, prostate, all nevers in that area and all associated lymph nodes. And as you said, they are really, really missed. But as to coins, although I don't think about them, I sort of do miss the old Tax Token type Mills. Wonder how many remember a $0.001 or $0.005 type coin. Although most were plastic. |

 , Shnug and charlesjcoin! Another example of using cash is carnivals and festivals. I don't mean state fairs, where some people are essentially running retail stores, but the "little" events, where it's still possible to run millions of dollars over a few day event. Can you imagine the line to get an elephant ear using plastic? |

I would think someone here would have some of those plastic coins once used as tax coins or tokens. I think there was a discussion here once about the different ones made and used per State. The only ones I ever saw when I was a kid was the ones from Missouri. I remember green and red ones and a few of the metal ones that were the $0.005 ones. |

Plastic coins Here is a set of 1913 "ivory" coins from Keeling Cocos. They also issued a set in red and blue plastic in 1968     This is the 1968 25 Rupee   I don't have images, but I do have a set of plastic New Zealand Decimal Practice Coins that were used in 1966 to train bank tellers and school children in the counting and handling of the new decimal coins that were coming.

Pretty cool, but plain looking plastic coins. Think they'd put a better design on them?
