Well, given that small denomination paper money bills have a very short lifetime and a coin has a lifetime of 30-50 yrs, it is cheaper to have coins (UK did it, and EU too)than paper bills in small denominations. The only problem is how to make the coins acceptable. Maybe it should be Reagan coin.

I would like $1, $5 and $10 coins!

...$10 coins!

The History Channel runs a series on "Breaking Vegas".

A retired jeweler was able to counterfeit $10 slot machine tokens. He'd play for a while, then go cash in the
phoney tokens.

The investigation started when a NJ casino reported an overage of $10K in inventory. Other casinos found similar overages.

One casino hasn't been able to cull all those tokens from their inventory.
