everything will be electronic transactions The demand for cold, hard cash will NEVER end as long as America exists. To remove it would be removing a piece of our freedom! I for one do not want the prying eyes of government and banks knowing everything I buy and sell. |

I do not see why the mint is going to the trouble to change the composition if a complete discontinuation of the nickel is eminent. In my opinion they should just eat the losses until they can't anymore then stop making nickels altogether.

All we need is a dime, a new smaller octagonal 50 cent, the present dollar coin and a new small 2 dollar coin that is bimetallic like a twonie, with the same interrupted reeding. That will make them all distinct for the visually impaired.
Round to 10's. Keep nickels and quarters legal tender and slowly withdraw them. They can still be used in pairs under rounding to 10's.

I agree. Never give up a cash cow. After the Mint's " Comic Art and Coin Collection" series, a literal cash cow series wouldn't be udderly ridiculous. It might be a moooving experience. Think of it as a complete redesign of coins and currency. It might be the best thing we ever herd of. And just imagine the store clerk saying "that will be twelve cows and seventy five calves, please."  |

At that point, I would just have to ride it until the end.  |

As long as laundry machines take quarters, I need quarters. The dime can go away AFAIC.
No dollar or twollar coins, ever.

Maybe the laundry machines should start taking dollar coins instead of quarters... |
