They have a few new dollar coins in circulation, not the gold ones with Sacagwea (sp?) on the. I think Hamilton is on one, maybe Adams was on the other? I forget.
But yeah, I prefer paper bills, its too hard stuffing slightly larger than quarter sized coins in a strippers G string.

And heavy? Grow some testicles. They aren't heavy at all. At least up here.

Being from Niagara Falls, and ONLY EVER working in the tourist industry, I've seen a TON of them. And they're annoying.
Dollar Coins don't rip, tear or crumple.
Much easier, IMO. |

I spent two weeks in London earlier this year for work, and used cash most of the time when I went out to eat (I was on a per diem). The change really piled up, because I kept using 5-pound (and higher) notes--it took too long to figure out which coins to give the cashier at the register, and they would give change in coins in increments up to 2 pounds.

Well in many places you just use larger denominations of money... however, in places liek Calgary, they play games. Along the liens of sticking a loonie above the err... you know (Don't know what's acceptable on the board) and get customers to throw coins at it from five feet away. They knock it off they get a poster.
Came as a shock to me really. Along with many other people who've seen a club with classier operations (which can even be more of a dive). Apparently there are cases of people who heat up the coins first with a lighter
But I like the toonie and loonie. As someone mentioned it reduces the clutter in my wallet. They just need to get rid of pennies and possibly nickles, IMO.

The euro and pound are common coins and people have coin purses to carry them around, but it ain't 'merican.
