thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 12/16/2008 2:41 pm I don't collect Prz or Sac coins but occassionally when I go to the bank I 'll ask for a roll or two, check out the new designs and spend them at stores. It's a shame the goverment wants to waste so much money. Report this Post to the Staff

SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 01:35 am Yes, the dollar bills have got to go before these coins will really see use. It's a shame, I'd like to start getting random presidents and sacs (new design coming right?) in my change instead of boring ol' bills. They could do for US History what the statehoods have done for US geography! Report this Post to the Staff
futurshox New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 07:16 am It was about 20 years ago when we in the UK switched from pound notes to coins. Everyone moaned about the new coins (too heavy, too easy to lose etc) and then quickly got used to them. It annoys me now that I never collected all the different designs on them - they were money after all and I had things I needed to buy! But as I'm sure any Brits or collectors of world coins knows, there have been plenty of different designs over the years. If the US Mint did ditch the dollar bill then I'm sure coins would become accepted, and we could all enjoy new designs over time. And the US would have one less almost-identical banknote denomination! Report this Post to the Staff
