>Kill bill? US says dollar coins would save $4.4B
We're going to get rid of dollar bills for coins? Dafuq?
Why should we switch from an old, reliable small bill to dirty, heavy, easily lost or counter fitted coins?
Also, why the fuck isn't the US issuing any polymer bill yet? Even Canada is ahead of us on this one.

>But Brittney Halldorson, a teller at the Interior Savings Credit Union in Kelowna, B.C., says that she’s heard of cases where several of the bills have melted together inside a hot car. A Halifax man reported that he’d laid his wallet on a toaster oven, and after toasting a bagel, noticed that three $100 bills were transformed into the shape of a “Coke bottle.” The Cambridge Times did an article in January about a man who left eight $100 bills he had received as a Christmas bonus in a tin box near a heater, only to discover a day later, that they had shrivelled up.

We don't carry man purses around in the US like girly European women, so it's more convenient to have them fit in your wallet as a bill rather than having coins jangle around and scratch the shit out of everything in your pocket.

Americans hate coins for some reason. Probably because we have been conditioned to view them as worthless--because they are in many respects. The only coin we have that can practically be used for small purposes is the quarter dollar and even that is a hassle for anything more than 1-2 dollars. Pennies are fucking worthless, as are nickels. Dimes (our 10 cent piece) are fairly worthless too.
So Americans think coinage = worthless, when really it's just our retarded denomination choices that make it so.

Coins of some actual value are fucking awesome, when you're fucking broke/hungry in America and you find some change on the ground, you'll still be hungry because you can't buy shit with it.
Find some coinage on the ground in Canada, a loonie or toonie and you just move down to your nearest timmies and you'll have something to eat.
We have those sacagaweas, but Americans fucking hoard them instead of spending them like they're just some sort of bullshit QVC collectible.

Snopes' assertion is basically that the Bank said that the bills should withstand more in theory and that the bills *Shouldn't* have issues since they don't melt *easily*.
However, it ignores all the cases of bills melting when people wouldn't put their hands something (e.g. they say if the person can take the environment the bill will too, but you can put a bill on top of a toaster oven, etc., and forget about it, which is one case of the bills melting earlier.
Snopes' debunking really is quite shit in this case.

I don't know how, but you obviously haven't noticed

So this great $4.4 Billion represents 0.000275 of that.
It's also amortized over, what, 30 years.
Also, whatever is saved from this program will only
be reflected in government revenues. It will not benefit
taxpayers in any way.
Just more bait and switch from Dummycraps.

Then make the requirements for a credit card stricter.
It's not a fault of credit cards if people are too stupid to use them properly.

>Why should we switch from an old, reliable small bill to dirty, heavy, easily lost or counter fitted coins?
canadafag here. i don't think i've ever lost a loonie or a toonie and they're great for vending machines.
times of changed, inflation has done it's thing and now one dollar isn't what it used to be. in terms of purchasing power one dollar is small change, it can buy you a couple packet of noodles at most. and so i prefer not having wads of one dollar bills cluttering my wallet.
but that's my lifestyle, i understand that for some people the added weight of more coins might be an annoyance even if it saves the country 4.4 billion for many it's "not worth it".
>Also, why the fuck isn't the US issuing any polymer bill yet? Even Canada is ahead of us on this one.
yeah our polymer bills are pretty cash. the canadian mint is also now working on an electronic currency for canada, that might be neat. some forward thinking there from our mint dudes.

Why the fuck is the US government getting rid of the $1 bill and not getting rid of pennies which cost more to make than they're worth?

>>But Brittney Halldorson, a teller at the Interior Savings Credit Union in Washington, DC., says that she’s heard of cases where several of the US paper bills have caught on fire inside a hot car. A Colorado man reported that he’d laid his wallet on a toaster oven, and after toasting a bagel, noticed that three $100 bills were exploding in his face causing third degree cash burns. The Wisconsin Times did an article in January about a man who left eight $100 bills he had received as a Christmas bonus in a tin box near a heater, only to discover a day later, that they had turned to ash.

i've lived in nz most of my life, and now in au, both of which have polymer notes, never once have i seen a *melted* note (unless you count ones intentionally melted by holding a lighter to them), only the occational torn one (and it's not easy to tear a polymer note)

While we're at it let's just round taxes up to the nearest dollar. The government will *love* you.

$1 coins are just cumbersome. The USA has tried multiple times to make them popular and every time people wanted bills.
Imperial system because science and industry has already switched to metric. Switching to metric for non-professional use has no advantages and would just waste even more money than we already are.

It would be sales tax that would be rounded up.

Shitty consumer protection when compared to credit cards. Somebody gets your cc and they're into your credit, but the cc company will help fix the problem. Somebody gets your debit card and they're in your actual bank account and you have to deal with it

this is a great video and i encourage everyone to watch it.
>>29541240
and the dude who posted that video or anyone who watched it should really view that first video i mentioned to put things in perspective
basically, we're going to be fine. china owns like 8% of the us debt and the vast majority of the debt is owed to ourselves, which is weird but there it is. in addition to that for every dollar of debt the us owes (mostly to itself somehow) the rest of the world owes the us 89 cents.
the only way there will be a debt crisis is if other countries lose faith in the us dollar and stop using it, this will drive up interest rates and make borrowing impossible. want to run the country like a business? lol, just try to to get some business going without borrowing money.
we all need to get things under perspective and fucking relax. this unnecessary panic over debt is only going to drive down confidence in the us dollar and thats only going to hurt us. everything is fine, fucking chill.

The Susan B. Anthony dollar was supposed to have 11 straight sides instead of being circular, which would have made it almost impossible to mistake for a quarter. But vending machine manufacturers got butthurt about a coin that wasn't perfectly circular and the government gave in.
