I don't think that the Public would ever accept plastic coins, as they do with credit cards right now. Plastic would probably cost more than zinc does now. If we could make cents from thin air they would still cost more than a cent to make and distribute. Quote: Looking further into the future, coins of larger denominations could be the norm, due to inflation. True. If we can get them to stop printing notes. Our dollar coin is a failure from its coexistence with the dollar bill. In 2000 I honestly thought we would have our own Toonie by now and would be considering a five dollar coin. Quote: However, beware of the compulsory 'mark of the beast' to be able to buy and sell. That old chestnut?

Now that new car would be $3,000? Of course your income would also be reduced to 10% of what it is now. Quote: Non magnetic stainless steel or Chrome plated steel could be 'in' for Dimes and Quarters. But would not be "seamless" with the existing coins, and would require significant changes on behalf of the end users, so would not fit in with the new legislation. Report this Post to the Staff

Again, I have to consider the psychological effects and having to retrain our brains. I think the first few seasons of The Price is Right would be crazy. I wonder how it affected the general population of Mexico in 1993 when they moved the decimal point three places. Perhaps the more drastic realignment was easier to fathom? Also, they revalued everything including the coins. I think changing the value of the US dollar without replacing all coins and currency would be folly.
