Should the U.S. switch to coins period?
    #21903657 - 07/06/15 12:25 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Our more valuable paper bills get all marked up, worn, and/or torn. So, we should demand paper money ends. We should also demand all cut denominations return.

Besides existing cent coins it should be $1 coins, $2 coins, $5 coins, $10 coins, $20 coins, $50 coins, $100 coins, $500 coins, $1,000 coins, $5,000 coins, $10,000 coins, and $100,000 coins.

We need 2 dollar, five dollar and ten dollar coins. Bills can be 20 or higher, and changed. Got a counterfeit 20 out of ATM recently. It's really been a long time coming, and the historic & practicality part of the half dollar and dollar got ruined. 2 / 5 / 10. Would be much easier for someone to have on a daily basis. Would make a pretty ballin swear jar.

America has the Silver Eagle and the Gold Eagle coins. They have considerable value.

It would be nice if we could just stop having physical money all together and just use card, but that's impractical and a bad idea for a huge number of reasons. It's unfortunate.

Virtually everyone around here uses cards for everything already. At times, physical money seems more antiquated than payphones.

The logistics of using coins just doesn't work with modern times. Paper bills are light weight and can easily be transported for a lot cheaper.

Canada has plastic bills. There rather hard to tear. But I'm pretty sure its all gonna be digital. The way of the bit coin I think. And as for coins, think about it, how likely are you to loose a hundred dollar coin? Just as likely as a fifty cent coin. That and a coin purse is just no.

Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping...
Holy fucking shit!

I would be happier paying for goods with gold and silver coins than with the paper money we have now. With gold and silver coins the value is contained in the coin.

If you work a day and get either a gold coin or a 100 dollar bill the difference is that with the gold coin, you GET the value of your labor while with the paper money you get the PROMISE of the value. Who promises? The banks. Fuck the banks man, your loss is their gain.

what pisses me off about gold and silver coins is the insanely stupid markup on them.  First you have the bidding price , THEN you have the asking price which is a markup.  But then it gets even worse, you see advertizement ads on these gold/silver sites that say xxx over SPOT price.  THEN you go to actually buy one and you find out that was only if you bought like 20 or 100 of them, when you only but 1 its even more expensive. 

When its all said and done you're basically getting ass fucked, its basically rigged so only these stupid websites make a profit off of metal investments, and if there's ever a decent crash in the prices where you might actually profit from all that bullshit, they pretend they are sold out

i just looked at 1 oz gold for an example, to sell your gold back to them you take a loss of over $50 per ounce, and thats IF.......you sell them 10k worth at a time thats $500 net loss good luck with that investment, any less and you have to CALL them to get assfucked even more.


Oh and gold is at 1165 right now, and guess how much to buy some, 1225......bull....fucking....shit

no one mentions bitcoins?

It seems apparent to me that the future of currency is going to be an internationally recognized one. It will also be dependent on the technological strengths of the times. Coins were great in 500BC, paper a little later, but most of our networking and transactions/trades are electronic now.

Silly humans and your need to tie capital to something tangible. It's all make believe anyway :laugh:

EDIT: my bad DensePlacebo. I second the bitcoin roll!

W/ cards... I'd fear the freezing of accounts, and all of what we buy monitor enabled. People want some purchases off documentation.

Definitely a SHTF scenario.

If you have food and drink for a month in your house though, you got an edge.

Absolutely, you can buy other people's buttholes for a whole month before you have to sell yours!

What do you mean collapse? Like this shit isn't permanent? I don't think you know just how big American dicks swing, my friend. When you say China owns America, I say possession is 9/10 of we'll blow you the fuck up.

Psych, nah, I hope the currency will be anonymous like bitcoin too. I think we won't become more policed or less with globalization, but who really can say?
