"Mark Rossi" wrote in message ... I've been a cashier for nearly 3 years now and I do quite a good job at it. You, sir, are a notable exception. The day someone at a McDonald's or wherever figures out to hand change *before* bills will be the day dogs and cats live together in perfect harmony. Bills first potentially results in coins falling to the ground. Surely I am not the only person to have figured this out - and I am not even a cashier. |

ink.net: (I imagine that if people started using tons of Twos they might keep printing them, BUT if the intent is to transition folks over to dollar coins, then using more Twos would work against that goal.). Against them, however not totally against them. Change for 1,3,6,8,11 etc would still need to be made. Then they could work on getting rid of the two dollar bill like they did in Canada. Though like Canada, I think it's best to have a one and two dollar coin. Barney |

ink.net: It may work if there was a two dollar coin, kinda like Canada, and perhaps a five dollar coin Well heck, by the time 17 years rolls by, we will REALLY need the five dollar coin by then. Barney |

ink.net: They will continue to mint Sacagaweas as well (not sure if they will also have the Statue of Liberty on the reverse). Do you mean AFTER the presidential series or DURING the presidential series? Barney |

news:ao7oe.9364$%Z2.811@lakeread08: All I said is that I would not want 18 dollar coins in change from a vending machine any more than I would want that many from a clerk at a register. At least that's a lot better than getting 72 quarters! Barney |

@naespamntlworld.com: Any government that does not consider the experiences of other countries is likely to waste a very large amount of money. Not to mention they did not take into consideration the feedback they received from their own people. I remember reading somewhere that there were concerns that the new SBA was going to be too much like a quarter...that it was silver in color and had an edge like a quarter. They suggested a different color and a different edge. The rest is history. Barney |

Finally I learned how cheap many Americans have been for some years as I understand now that they use five dollar bills. It's been rumored that Canada might switch to five dollar coins over there. In that case, I can't see customers tipping with ten dollar bills. Maybe the dancers will start wearing portible pockets or mabye put collection cups along the edge of the dance floor. Barney |

I hope the part that says "to improve circulation of the $1 coin" is the fact that they plan to stop printing one dollar bills after the presidential series is over. I can only keep my fingers crossed! I also wonder what "new bullion coin" means. Barney |
