      But never with taking away the bills. Get rid if the bills and force the coins and voilà.

          Yeah, no idea on the pros and cons of dollar coins, just that they’ll never take off while there are still bills circulating.

            My guess would be a knee jerk response like the move away from incandescent bulbs.

            I barely even use cash at this point so I’m not sure what the actual implications would be.

        They exist but are not circulated in nearly enough quantity so we basically collect them as oddities.

        We have them but they’re somewhat uncommon. I needed three for a project recently and had to go well out of my way to find them
