jbuck Moderator United States 188197 Posts	Posted 01/11/2011 11:07 am We should just go ahead and make the dime the smallest coin available. People will either learn to round their totals, or they will shift to electronic payments. Regardless, it would not be the end of the world. There are still plenty of coins to collect.

oblakavshtanax Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 01/11/2011 11:13 am i'll have to disagree with you mr. buck. I've heard tell of other countries considering polymer coins and it seems we might be able to do that cheaper. as far as removing cents and nickels, it seems like that's a slippery slope and is just one more step toward a cashless society. meanwhile, I'm loading up on cents.
