Eliminate the cent and eliminate the paper $1 bill.
A $1 coin could stay in circulation for 30 years while paper bills have to be replaced every four or five years on average. (many sources now say 5.9 years)
Nickels last a long time and if they aren't that necessary, or people don't use them as much, as some of the claims are made, then they won't wear out as fast.
I still find 1938 nickels in circulation in very good condition. Why are we making 1.5 billion nickels a year if they aren't being used?
Where do they go? And that's 80 years!
The argument about the trays in the cash register is something that happened by choice, you can order trays with more or less. But just to be fair. Eliminate the cents and now there are enough slots in the tray for 5c to $1. Problem solved.
Slim pickings yesterday. One upgrade to s better condition (does anyone care?) for one President and another JFK. Most of the fun is getting down to finding coins that were plated or only sold through the mint, but somehow made it into circulation.
If my actual goal was a complete set, it looks now like I can get any of them for under $5 delivered, many going for under $4 on ebay. But I'm having fun? The old fashion way. Collecting from circulation. (kind of)
Less and less of the Native American series are showing up in the rolls. 1 in 100 so far. 8 SBA per hundred.
