Say it ain't so, boss! Say it ain't so!

I still have plenty of holes in my Whitman albums to fill.

Yup, and my Dansco albums, too. That is where the annual proof and uncirculated mint sets come to the rescue.

That brings up larger questions about the viability of numismatics in a cashless society. But maybe that wants a new thread.

Imagine what album holes will look like as bartering becomes commonplace--chickens for potatoes, anyone?

My Whitman potato album is full, and you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

It will survive. There are myriad items still collected which are no longer made. Coins are no different. New collectors will still get interested in ways other than scanning change. My interest began when my dad gave me two Eisenhower dollars, not when I was curious about what was landing in my pocket—I was too young to have anything there.

Probably not a bad I idea. At least two previous attempts sputtered.

Getting wrinkly, worn out one-dollar notes into, say a vending machine

"Vending Machines"? They still have those?

There is no reason to have more than four one dollar notes—or one dollar coins—on you at any time.
