Yeah, paper is an odd choice. Coins make way more sense (and I'm really surprised that the US hasn't got dollar-level coins yet - Canada is working on a $5 coin, since we already have the $1 and $2 ones. Way cheaper in the long run, since they last pretty much forever).
Canada just switch to polymer... better, at least.... Having tried burning it yet. :think:

We have dollar coins...

Really? I've never received one. You mean silver dollars?
I added above - I think US money is actually made of fabric.

Yeah, cotton fabric... whatever. burns like paper
no.

:?: Well where the hell are they? I've spent a lot of cash in the US and have never once received a dollar coin as change. Just those fucking $1 bills. I hate those. They look just like $20 bills - it's so stupid! Why is it all the same colour??

Everybody HATES them. The only place I've ever seen use them as actual currency is the metrocard vending machines.

Nobody gives them back as change... most places hate getting them

Nobody wants them, just saying we have them in this country.

The $1 bill has a 1 on it and George Washington

The $20 bill has a 20 on it and Alexander Hamilton

I hate your funny money in Canada... looks like play money to me... like I'm playing monopoly. :P

It's not that fucking difficult to tell. The numbers are ridiculously easy to see on the bills

No, not really. Same color, they have just added color to the front a bit to make it more difficult to counterfeit or some horseshit.

They all look the same. All the same colour, same basic design. That how it feels for everyone else in the world who are used to bills being different colours.

Yeah, the penny thing is stupid. Everyone's just repricing things to make sure it always rounds up, never down.

i really don't understand the penny argument. The nickel has cost more than a nickel to produce for ages and we're still freaking redesigning them!

Anyway who even uses cash that much anymore? I pay for shit with my phone now! :-P :roll: :fp:

I think the nickel is just worth too much. People aren't willing to be rounding up or down to the closest 10.

A lot of (I'd actually say most) people still use cash a lot. I do. I also pay with debit or credit very often, but I find cash very handy, and in some cases, necessary.

Canadians worry about being drunk and accidentally paying with 20s instead of 1s. Seems reasonable to me!
