S<\/span>ince the arrival of the $Dollar coins, I have really struggled with trying to figure out why it’s not more popular. Every other country with money, real or imaginary as ours some times feels, uses coins for their most widely used currency. It’s really a no brainer, because a coin will virtualy last forever and paper money is SO a back when “we put men on the moon” type of accomplishment. Personally, I LOVE the $Dollar coins. It’s such a waste of space having more than like 5 $1 bills. Unless you’re planning a trip to the local “Bada-Bing!”<\/a>, $1 bills are just a nuiscance and take up too much space.<\/p>\n

Hundies?<\/p>\n

At any rate, I think this debacle explains the slow adoption of the dollar coin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
