As a merchant, I use them every day, making change. Many people
really do use them on a regular basis.



You missed the point. For most people
its a one way trip from the merchant into a jar or can at home and when it

is
full a trip to the bank or coinstar.


But I do that with all my change. Maybe we should round to the nearest
dollar, then. I haven't heard a convincing argument yet why the cent should
be eliminated. It's the same old sorry arguments.

But I think most people at some point
pick out at least the quarters and use
them while leaving the lower denominations
for coinstar or the bank.

More assertions, not some many proofs.

BTW, that process of acculmulation/redemption is called 'circulation' in
my household. ;-)

You're exactly the type of person the banksters love "Let us manage your
money for you."

I don't allow them to manage squat, but the convenience of avoiding cash or
checks is worth whatever privacy issues might exist.

I use them all for tolls or for vending machine change.

Here in Illinois most people that pay tolls on any regular basis have I
Pass. Once vending machines start taking smart cards of some sort, currency
is on the way out.

I don't necessarily think they should be eliminated. I just don't see
why we need another 10 billion new ones every year.

Agreed,
I use them everyday. I throw a few into my pocket with the rest of my
change when I leave the house in the morning.
