    Americans should ditch the $1 bill

    Loonies are the way to go man. I hate having so many bills when I go down there.

    We can't even ditch the penny even though it's useless nowadays.

      We have $1 coins. No one likes to use them though.

      I'd rather have a pocket fill of $1 bills than a pocket full of oversized $1 coins.

      Spend you some brain.

                Exactly how does one give a stripper a $1 coin? I mean where do you put it?

                  The Susan B. Anthony dollars were a disaster because they were often confused with quarters. The Sacagawea was an improvement because of the color but I've seen less of those than I did when the SBA coins came out. People must be collecting them rather than spending them. I think stores have resisted dollar coins because they would have to replace all of their cash drawers.

                        LOL... I heard years ago when silver dollars were common there was a stripper with a unique ability to pick one up

                          really. I though they only made those in 1976. Anyways why would I tip a stripper $2?

                            Yeah but that's another denomination that has been held back most likely due to merchants resisting them. They'd have to get a bigger cash register to hold the bigger drawer with 2 extra sections for dollar coins and $2 bills.
                            .

                              they stopped making the Sacagawea dollar a couple of years ago due to lack of people using them. dollar coins would save the US moeny since bills have to be replaced avery 18 months and coins last 30 years.

                                I am having a big can of coins over here as I hate to have 'm in my wallet.

                                since the euro got introduced we got 1 and2 cent coins wich are totally useless. Wonder how many more years before they ditch those.

                                        That Interac system is shitty compared to what the US and almost every other country seems to have. Visa Check Cards and Mastercard Check Cards are waaaay better than that Interac system Canada has.

                                        Canada doesn't have check cards.

                                        and yes, the US does have $1 coins already.
                                        I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                        I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                            visa check cards are the same thing as a visa isn't it?? The only difference is that you have to punch in a PIN right?

                                            I like knowing that I can shop w/o getting charged an interest rate everytime that I buy something using my bank card.

                                                I like knowing that I can shop w/o getting charged an interest rate everytime that I buy something using my bank card.
                                                Visa Check Cards aren't the same as Visa. It's not credit. A Visa Check Card is attached to you bank account and when you buy something it just takes the money out of your bank account.

                                                Buy something for $20 and it takes $20 out of your bank account. But here's the real advantage....you can use them anywhere Visa is accepted worldwide, including the Internet.

                                                Try buying something online or in another country using Interac. You can't.

                                                Oh, and Visa Check Cards don't have interest. They aren't credit cards.

                                                      Exactly. If we're going to make an effort to get rid of something, pennies have GOT to be the first to go.
