Income equality is like mission impossible for every country, developped or underdevelopped...we consider a country's economic policy effective if it can keep the gap as narrow as possible, since there's no way the gap would be completely closed. But apparently there are many countries in the world, despite of their efforts, still can't close the gap a bit...So I am wondering what are the top 10 countries that have widest income gap, or greatest income inequality...

There is a genuine problem with the continued minting of coins, in that it costs more to make each individual coin that the coin is worth.

And I just read on Yahoo news that, conversely, coins are worth more melted down than their face value.

If this is the case, why not switch to just making molded coins out of plastic? Or plexiglass? Or any cheap, tough material?

Sure it'd be out of bounds of tradition, but would it solve the problem?
