Technically speaking the mint has never made a dollar bill.

The mint handles coins not bills.

The bep handles bills.

I like my bills. My wallet is full of ones and fives.
I don't like change in my pocket.
What if we end up cashless? That's a question for another poll.

Time to start rounding to nearest ten cents on cash transactions. We only need 4 circulating coins.

The dime, a new octagonal and smaller half dollar, the present dollar coin and a new bimetallic 2 dollar coin.

Time to get rid of the cent, nickel and quarter.

I agree completely, but we need snappy nicknames like the Looney and the Twoney!

I was in Sweden last summer and they didn't take ANY cash (paper or coin) at a lot of places. Credit and Debit cards ONLY. I would think that is where we are headed, but we successfully called in sick for "Convert to Metric" day, so who knows!

Man, some of these posts are funny.
I agree with a lot of you, but I personally think we should keep the cent. We have such uneven amounts of money to pay now with so many taxes. Maybe we should all start rounding.
Anyways, thanks for all the great discussion. Happy hunting to all!

If we just had the cool bimetal coins like our friends up north,then I would change my tune about using dollar and two dollar coins.
