US $1 Coin, Take 4

It's so if you hand the cashier a dollar, they have to open the till to give you the penny change. Therefore the transaction is recorded on the till. It stops cashiers from simply pocketing the dollar.

Of course. It's where I bought my wallet.

I also get my shaving cream at The Body Shop. Don't you be messing with my bad metrosexual self.

Oh my god Rufus...You might as well come out of that closet now...



Is this a good place to mention I like all stuff that smells of peach, soap, shampoo, air fresheners...you name it.

Now why doesn't that surprise me, you Young Urban Professional, you.

I think we should have a paper bill quarter-dollar.

I don't actually agree with that. with inflation, they aren't worth that much anyways.

I cram my money into my pocket so it becomes a big sweaty wad. That's man's money!

I found out recently how sweaty my money becomes when I put it all in my front pocket. The cashiers must love me when I pay for things with sweaty money.

though not as bad as this story this clerk was telling me of a woman who pulled sweaty money out of her bra. Boob sweat. Although I told her that might be a good thing if the chick was hot. But women don't see it that way.

Puh-leeze. If that were the issue, I'd be talking about truck stops, not the Body Shop.

there's no doubt about my sexual status.

You could be overcompensating.

You guys are missing the real issue. What happens to strippers if the one dollar bill is put out to pasture? Coins don't look to good in G-Strings and I don't know too many people willing to part with fives that easy.

You can just cash in your coins for replica bills at the front.

that's just not the same. The unsanitary nature of bills just makes the strippers seem all that much more sleezier.

An enterprising fellow such as myself would simply leave a pile of pennies on top of the till for such an occasion.

I've heard the story before, and not overly convinced that its a main reason due to the ease with which a safeguard like that could be circumvented.

It kind of amazes me that this is even an issue. If it makes more sense to go with coins from a economics/longevity standpoint (which it does), then just stamp the coins and recall the notes - end of story. If people want to complain about it, they can have a good cry, then ask their mommies to wipe their bums, pull up their panties and get on with life. Lots of people didn't like the idea (and I'm sure still don't) of moving to $1 and $2 coins in Canada, but our worlds haven't collapsed yet.
