The new dollar coins are coming out, and already there is not much confidence we will like them.
Personally, I am psyched. I'd outlaw dollar bills and pennies in a heartbeat if I could. They cost more to make then they are worth- which means it costs you and me when people use them.
Dollar bills are known to be able to carry disease, and many are already infected with things like Salmonella. They gum up vending machines, get washed, etc.
I cannot think of a single reason bills are better than well-designed coins. One typical argument is that a pocket of the coins would weigh more than a billfold full of the bills- but honestly, how often do you have more than $3-5 worth of ones on you?
What do you think?
