Why you should switch to the dollar coin

  • So I should use a dollar coin because, if everyone used them 100% of the time, it would decrease the federal budget by 0.125%?

    That's an absolutely terrible reason to use a coin, and I already do my part by never carrying cash in the first place.

    I'd also point out that the dollar coin sucks to use for the following reasons:

    1) far heavier than a bill

    2) doesn't fit in a wallet

    3) not accepted everywhere

    4) an almost useless quantity of money (how often do you spend just $1)?
