“Except the people LIKE the paper dollars, which is why we keep using them. The government is supposed to work for us, they should stick with paper. The people don’t really give much of a crap about pennies and nickles. But we use paper dollars, the mint can shove the coins.”

Not me. I would much rather have a combination of $2 bills and $1 coins.

No you wouldn’t. There’s a reason the money we used moved FROM metal TO paper. Paper is malleable which makes it easier to store and sort and lighter. Put 10 dollar bills in one pocket and 10 quarters in another. You’ll see immediately that in fact you don’t want dollar coins, and why they will continue to fail in the marketplace until they take the paper money away.
