Senators again try to replace dollar bill with coin
Just wanted to see what all our American posters thought about this? Obviously the dollar bill is outdated and it makes economical sense but we all know people tend to hate change, do you think it will finally go through?
At a time when we're looking to save whatever money we can in our national budget, an $8 billion savings isn't chump change. Stop talking about it and just do it. Please. No Congressional Hearings.

Moot. In 10 years, physical cash will just be a memory.
Many companies are going paperless now, so not even a paycheck to cash. It's either direct deposit, or an ADP card on which paychecks are placed. Stubs will be viewed online only.

Couple that with the fees banks charge for withdrawals and check cashing, it's just a matter of time.
I haven't had actual cash in my wallet in over a year.
You do know people buy things with cash right? It's really annoying to use your debit card for say a transaction of two dollars.

That's because a loonie or toonie hurts when thrown.The Canadian ones too. The ones in Ft. Erie only take American currency.

Every time I visit Canada, their idea of a $1 and $2 coin seems like a good one.

I have no problems with Canadian loonies ($1) and twoonies ($2) coins. We also just got rid of the penny and nobody seems to be too concerned about it.
For me, I empty my pocket of any change I've collected at the end of each day and put it aside and it's "rolled" and brought to the bank once a month and deposited in a savings account. It's a good savings plan for me. If you've got kids, it's a good savings plan for them too, teaching them how to save up for something they want.
Canadians adopted debit cards long before Americans accepted them and we can't do without them now - coins won't be a big change, pun intended, and it does save your federal mint lots of money too. Next, you should start looking at the new polymer bills too.
Have Canada upgraded to the chip and pin cards yet?
well America hasn't yet so thats why I asked.
To my knowledge they have though I have only been to the North East where a Canadian bank is fairly popular.
