I can see one advantage, is that the physical coin will last longer, and you can't and you can't modify it to look like another coin of higher monetary value.

No dollar bills? Blasphemy. What am I supposed to do at the strip club now?

A g-string full of Susan B. Anthonys would look pretty nasty. Very Mooseknucklish.

Puts a perspective on the term "coin slot".

If I have to use dollar coins for lap dances, I'm putting them in the freezer first.

If you have to ask, you don't wanna know.

I would quit carrying 'ones' if they were in coin form. The American people don't like $1 coins and our congress should respect that instead of figuring out whats best for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the 'change' he promised 4 years ago? Coarse it will be fun to be around when gravity takes over from to much weight in the g-strings -- talk about 'flash dance' :yahoo:

I was in London the year they made the pound coin. As I recall the bartendes were elated by their windfall from people who left all their change for a tip. And talk about saggy pants, the weight of twenty pounds in one's pocket is well, darn heavy. True story. :rofl:

English coinage is heavy to begin with. My favotite coin which I think is the 20p , is an octagon..

Too expensive the darn things cost 2.5 cents to make!

Pennies and nickles are dooomed too. Clam shells are looking good. :tongue:

I despise the new dollar coin. Same size as a quarter for one thing and too heavy to carry.

We converted our $1 and $2 notes to metal some years back.
****ing pain in the ass if you ask me.
Notes are so much easier to carry.

Every once in awhile, they threaten to shove this kind of shit down our throats.
The Susan B Anthony dollar coin from the early Eighties was hated so much (that, along with the "new" $2 bill, which really ain't all that new) that they shoved 'em down the throat of the military.
In Europe. :whatever:
Pussies. Don't even have the balls to take on the populace.
'Course, now with Barry in charge, he'll shove ANY kind of shit down our throats and the populace will love it.

Barack Obama is the new $2 bill. :lmao:

What about vending machine? Most of them take dollar bills, but I haven't seen any that take dollar coins. At the prices the vending companies charge, though, they need to make them take $5 bills.

At work, they've got a change machine that'll spit out $1 coins to make change for $5 and $10 notes. Then, of course, the vending machines have slots that'll accept those $1 coins, along with $1 bills.
We have the technology.

The Aussie $1 and $2 aren't too bad.
The one is very slightly larger than our quarter, and half again as thick.
The two is slightly larger than a penny, and twice as thick.
The fifty-center on the other hand, is a twelve sided manhole cover.

I put together a couple bags of 'Pirate Treasure' for the princesses next door. I decided the kids would get a kick out of a couple bags of "gold" to spend on a long road trip they were taking with their mom. We had collected severa dozen from m/zeits work where the vendors gave back the new $1's coins but were not set up to take them back. Not surprisingly that vendor company is not longer there.
I will have to scan my $3 bill from the Clinton Era during half time and post it. They were always good for a laugh, often a free drink, and some folk even thought they were legit. :whistling: I think they actually made them dumb down the second run.

Back in the old days men would take dimes in to a jeweler , have them attached to a watch Fob, back of coin was ground down and the initials of family member placed there. I received a few from a family member and passed them on to my son that is into coins. He was thrilled. Collectors items .
I began to wonder if modern day jewley could be made with coins, so experimented and found that I was way in over my head with metallurgy. Some things just wont stick to others, need different exposies to meld correctly.
One day at the mall there was an exhibit of the silver and coins in silver taken of a Spanish sunken ship by this world famous teasure hunter, everyone knows about him but few remember his name. He had around his neck a silver coin and I really checked that out. He had it placed inside a circle of Gold with a hanging hook.
for a chain. AHA HA, I have seen things at craft stores never knowing what they were for.
Off to the craft store and I bought most everything they had in all sizes. For Xmas I made the girls with pierced ears,earring's hanging dimes. Barrettes with quarters and the adults the Gold one dollar piece on a chain. The bright new copper Penny's became broaches. I was quite proud of myself.
All this went over as well as a hog in a Mosque. Before the kids were out the door they were taking apart my gift that had taken me much time and thought. Mutterings of cheap Grandma, coming to my ear.
So next year I skipped a step and began to drill small holes in the coins, and not only was it easier to make Jewelery but much cheaper. Plus the coins were now not worth a penny to them. Screw them and the parents that they rode in on.
All supplies for the silver and gold wires I bought on line and the tools I needed are reasonably priced. This can become an addiction when the winter gloom hits. Hubby wants me to sell these at a flee market come spring.
I love foreign coins, so much can be done with them. A new one dollar gold piece if made a bit larger then a quarter would be great for me.

When I was a kid, we'd still get dollar coins in change. People didn't like the weight, so they were phased out 'cause paper dollars were CHEAPER to print and didn't weigh as much........go figger!
Hell, I've still got a couple of Federal Reserve $1 notes from 1917, plus several rolls of Sacagawea dollar coins, and the last series of $1 to $100 uncirculated paper bills. BTW, the gold in the Sacagawea dollar is only worth about 7½¢. It's only cladding.
Now on to other things..........

So I guess there is a use for those canadian beaver nickels I occasionally receive in change from the liqour store when I'm not paying attention.

Yup; in about a year to 18 months, they'll be worth more than the $5 bills in your wallet. All the $5 bills in your wallet. Put together. :fuelfire:
