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...
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??peacefrompaul wrote:PJ_Soul wrote:

Everybody HATES them. The only place I've ever seen use them as actual currency is the metrocard vending machines.PJ_Soul wrote::?: Well where the hell are they?

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. :P0 -

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.0 -

They all look the same. All the same colour, same basic design.

Yeah, the penny thing is stupid. Everyone's just repricing things to make sure it always rounds up, never down.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

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:NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

I think the nickel is just worth too much. People aren't willing to be rounding up or down to the closest 10.duska3419 wrote: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!

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.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

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