Should the U.S. switch to coins period?

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.
-------------------- Alright then, picture this if you will: 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51. 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 
EDIT: my bad DensePlacebo. I second the bitcoin roll!

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?

Never heard of that, but we used to have a high school prank where you'd try to slip a a lit , hot end up, into said coin-slot while someone was seated. The hot seat (and lols) wouldn't happen until they stood up, which we made sure they did.
I guess they call that stuff bullying these days, or maybe assault.
Kids...whatcha gonna do?

Fuck that I hate coins. Such an annoying sound in your pocket and it's like fuck. This means I got less than a dollar. The only time I really use the jar of them that I have is when I'm at the end of the pay period and broke as shit.

I don't lIke this. Money is physical. Its easier to swipe a card than to break your last 20. I dont use banks for that very reason. I know exactly how much i have at any given moment.

Look at this charming thing:

This is an 1/10 troy ounce gold coin (a Chinese Panda). Its worth, at present, $110 straight up.
Most of us don't make $110 a day. Many do, most don't. I sure don't. Zappa sure does and probably several times that.
But: $110, a good day's wage. 3.11 grams of gold. How is that not convenient or heavy to carry?
How about $1100? Most of us don't walk around with that much in their wallets. We wish!

An American Gold Eagle. One Ounce. (troz) slips right in your shirt pocket and, less awkwardly than 11 100 dollar bills.
For most of us, the weight of gold coins is not a factor. 10 of those coins buys a car, 100 a house, and 100 only weighs little over 3 kilos. A house in gold, paid in full, can be carried in the pockets of your coat.

Yeah but I've lost a bill maybe once in my life.. I lose coins all the damn time. I wouldn't trust myself carrying around a bunch of coins worth 5, 10 or 20 dollars..

Trust me, you won't ever lose a $1100 coin. When coins are actually worth something your whole attitude towards them changes. You should really hold a one ounce gold coin once and let your mind wander on it. Does something with you. At once the whole fiat currency system becomes clear as the scam it is.

Trust me, you won't ever lose a $1100 coin. When coins are actually worth something your whole attitude towards them changes. You should really hold a one ounce gold coin once and let your mind wander on it. Does something with you. At once the whole fiat currency system becomes clear as the scam it is.

Yea wed all have like expensive coin bags/pouches instead of wallets. Wed make sure it wouldnt be easy to lose lol

Come to think...
It would be nice if we could use a simple card to swipe to apply for jobs/careers. Good for job/career hunting it would be.

gold is only good when the economy is suffering, if the economy tanks it's fucking worthless. gold is a fiat currency, it's like any other currency and only has the value that people place on it. rocks and shells were currency in some places, why is gold any different? oh, because man as placed value on the rock for much longer but if no other currency is in circulation then guess what, my asking price for the goods you want is high

If gold actually were utilized in a gold standard it would be much more stable in price. The British Sovereign was stable for virtually two hundred years while the British Empire expanded.
I didnt lose that by the way, I got out of gold in time, almost on the peak. I keep a tiny bit of gold around for sentimental value but the investment, thats gone. Silver hit a low and I got junk silver (no VAT tax) real cheap. Yes Silver came down too but never to the level for which I bought it.
Silvers gonna explode. EXPLODE.
If you don't already just consider it a lottery ticket and get a one ounce coin. The faith is more important than the weight.
*Forrest Gump voice* "Silver's gonna pull a Rhodium, and that's all I got to say about that."
Which is great for the US and its many silver mines.

Of all the metals, silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity known, in fact it has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity known for any material. It is strong, malleable and ductile, and can endure extreme temperature ranges. Silver is also able to reflect light very well.

was that the 16th century sovereign?
we were removed from a metals standard because of the instability, all it takes is for someone to hoard gold or silver

and yet you're still telling everyone to buy gold even while the prices were falling, this just over the last few years

No, definitely not, I don't want to carry around a bunch of change.
We should switch to more secure and overall better plastic bills, they'd last way longer, wouldn't tear or fade, thefore they wouldn't have to be recycled nearly as often, and there are more options to make them harder to counterfeit.

They are pushing to eliminate cash from society. Bitcoins are here to stay, get some before the price explodes again.
What fool said gold was fiat? Lol, its a commodity for sure and limited supply unlike fiat which can be printed or created by the trainload in an instant. The more economic problems the world has, the higher the price of gold, silver, bitcoins, etc.

Nah. coins are easy to lose and take up more space, and weigh more. i wouldn't mind if the US changed our currect coins to reflect their actual value though. never made sense to me why pennies and nickles are bigger than dimes. and they are more expensive to produce than they are worth. its only about 6 cents to make a dime, but its almost 12 cents to make a nickel
switching over to polymer notes would be cool too. theyre neat

It's because dimes used to be made of silver, and they kept them the same size when they changed the composition.
