Oh hell the gently caress no. So you replace pocket change with more pocket change? I hope to one day live in a world where nobody has to carry a coin purse or fumble around in their pocket to pay a common currency amount.

I really wish a candidate pushed for this stuff. Eliminating DST and eliminating small coins would entertain broad popular support and would be a way to give lie to the mindset that says government can't make positive change in people's lives.

Kill the penny. It's loving stupid. Mandate poo poo rounds up or down to the nearest 5 cent mark.

Dollar coins are fine. Just make people use the loving things instead of stuffing them in their closet for grandkids because "dollar coins are so rare now." We don't need our own Twonie though.

Yo. How do you think pot farms pay their employees when they can't get a business bank account? It's why almost every dispensary has an ATM.

There are a few credit unions in state that handle some weed banking, but that poo poo is almost entirely cash business. It's why private security companies in Denver whore to the veteran community.

Korea uses plenty of coins. I think 1000 - 5000krw are in coin form.

Also how the hell am I supposed to change coins between currency? Basically nobody accepts coins for currency exchange, so I have a bunch of random euro, pound, and 100¥ coins just hanging out. There's no international coinstar.

Japan basically still runs almost entirely on cash unless you're in Tokyo or Osaka, and even then it's still needed in a lot of restaurants.

E: using coins to pay for buses and poo poo in Scotland was pretty convenient. Literally every physical store/pub had tap-to-pay for cards so you could carry a little cash and be set.

In an Edmonton strip club in Canada, I drunkenly winged $1 CAD coins at a stripper and demanded to see her birth canal. I got thrown out.

I vote for three-dollar bills the size of Monopoly money, also square coin worth a buck-fifty, and nickels and dimes replaced with a “trickle” worth $.15.

Get rid of $1 bills and make $5 bills as rare as $2 bills are now.

The tenners have a picture of Sejong the Great and my stupid friends and I always took great amusement at slapping down Sejongs at the bar.



Shim, flicking loonies and toonies at strippers is a time honored Canadian tradition. Some will specialize in the "coin slot" where they try and grab them between their asscheeks when you throw them.
As long as you don't whip coins it's perfectly fine. You will get violently ejected if you throw them with force.

Wait what? I didn't think you could devalue legal tender, just try to take it out of circulation. Like here I'm pretty sure 1c and 2c peices are still legal tender, you just can't get new ones and banks aren't supposed to let them back out into circulation.
