US Coin Vs Dollar - I Asked The Canadians

I think the reason why our Wise Canadian members are not bothering to join in the discussion is that they have already made the necessary changes ( along with us Aussies ) and they can't see what all the hoo ha is all about.
It has been a success in Canada and Aus so why NOT just sit back and watch ( and have a bit of a giggle)

Originally I did put the initial request in the Canadian forum to ask their opinions. I only put this here b/c I did not know how many people would see it if in the Canadian forum.

Like jbuck said, the Canadians probably do not peruse our forum much, so I figured we do not peruse theirs as much either. So that's why it is here.





They also might just see it as our turn. They went through it and had the same complaints (I do not know the initial responses when Oz switched over). And, at least I know in Canada, it has been long enough ago the people seeing the different threads about this probably are having a good laugh since they were not a part of the switch. Time heals all wounds.

How about "encouraging" ppl to use the coins. Sell $100 face for $95, no bank allows more than five in a deposit. This would encourage ppl to get them, and use the because they have no option.

That second part is key. It should prevent the abuse of the original direct ship program.

And then there is the rub.

A good compromise would allow commercial (retail business) accounts to deposit without limit. A limit on personal and non-retail accounts would still prevent the direct ship abuse that occurred before.

Regardless, the ideal solution (for getting them to circulate) is to kill the note.
