Yes, yes! Eliminate the $1 bill, print lots of $2 bills. The 2-note is perfect for the smallest demonination bill now-a-days. A dollar coin somewhere between quarter-size and Kennedy half... Oh, and quite producing pennies!
I hate a pocket full of pennies and a wallet with $1 bills. Fat wallet and heavy pants for only $6.49. Arg!
I think something halfway between the Kennedy half and the old Ike dollar would be appropriate. It would "feel" like a dollar.
Of course, how many vending machines even take halves, which have been the same size for many decades now? By the time we finally figure out the right size for the half and the buck, we'll not need change nearly as much anymore, vending machines will all take debit/credit cards.
All these new coins are simply a scam to make money for the gov. They should leave this garbage to the franklin mint and the rest of the hucksters.
We had beautiful money previosuly and they messed it all up. Our bills and coins now look like they're from some third world banana republic.
