Does anyone think they should get rid of coins?

Has no value. Is a waste of time and when I go to stores I just say keep it. And pennies I just litter in the street.
Point being can they just have a dollar as the limit for transactions for global transactions of whatever bill it would be though the dollar is the global one at this time.
Just tired of it. Pay in bills or on a card. Get rid of the coin! Use it to better the world and end it. IT HOLDS NO VALUE! Can get into inflation and the cost of making it but no.
Save up your pennies! Is this the early 1900's era. A penny kept is a penny earned. They are litter. Inflation sucks, adjust. Many times when I rarely use cash the cashier just gives me the change, guess nickels hold so much value now.
End of rant. Time for some k-pins and Jager. Made me laugh reading a story. Old brother convinces younger brother that Jager is actually mixed with blood of that animal. And he believed it. Shit, at the liqour store today and they still sell everclear, 180 proof but in a fine new fancy label.
Guy was in his 50's and that was the first thing he asked is where is the Everclear? ON TO A EARLY DEATH! But to each their own. I was amazed they even still have it for sale. Worse things in life. Feeling that esoteric feeling coming on. Not one to judge.
On with the NBA and complaining. But that fades away after awhile.
Made me laugh. A court hearing and fine and to piss them off paid it all in pennies. Not rolled up pennies, pennies for like $500.
Time to get fucked up in a pleasant way. Have a good night shroomery.

Canada got rid of the penny a while back. I like quarters for laundry in the USA, but most places up north take the one and two dollar coins.
I like the dollar coins the USA has, but they aren't popular. I've seen them a few places though. Not sure why Americans don't like them.

Also I'm a firm believer that an electromagnetic storm from the sun is a common occurrence throughout human history and we've only been completely dependent on sattelites, data centers and digital copies for a couple of decades now. Within my lifetime I would expect that a solar flare will render a huge chunk of all electronics useless.

I find a EMP by a military much likely. Will see. Electro Magnetic Pulse. Is an interesting read. Old trucks before chips were put into everything might have a value down the road. But of course that will never happen and people are just nutcases as the ants march on and the rulers rule.
Whatever.

Pennies are a useless nuisance, but from what I understand Illinois (land of Lincoln) will put up major obstacles to dumping them. I do hoard dimes because a jar full of them is worth quite a bit and need quarters to play pool.

Yeah, Quarters. I have a lot of them on something I did out of boredom for a hobby but for everyplace I go with States and National Parks I put one in Had a Michigan one once and yes, I have been there but spent it because I thought I had it but just got one out of luck recently and put it on the board. Not proud of it but still, I have been there like that means anything. And yes been all around Chicago and sticking to the North Side. When on break from College had a Cubs hat and got lost on THE NORTH SIDE and wandered around for hours until I found my place at around three in the morning. Lol. Southside, no. Bad vibes on the red there to a Sox game at night and just, get me the fuck home.
Soon pool tables will be cards used for credits to insert. But now is now. Not putting it down, just yes, pennies are a waste and threw 30 plus of them in the street that had been building up in my junk drawer and it felt like littering and of course it costs more to make them to use them.
Though I still see people at times put piles of them at convience marts to pay for things. Even saw an old woman use a paper check for the first time in 5 plus years. Is going to change even with pool tables at pubs or wherever. Even cash will be gone in time. No matter what influence Illinois has on Honest Abe.
Fuck it. Time for some for fireworks this 4th. I bitch a lot about things but still, the U.S. is one of the best places to live.

I do think they should do away with coins. I work for a dispensary and the with the coin shortage it is hard to keep up.

What will beggars do when their is no change anymore? Or cash? Got change? Got a dollar? Been there done that and then they look at me with your a piece of shit because I get looked on as a piece of shit everyday.
But once in awhile. I just feel humanity to it and a genuine thankfulness. Never with coins. I go downtown all over the nation before covid and now will again. Some just want to be humanized. That you actually care and not give them a pity party or humiliate them with coins that are worthless.
Am above nobody, just hiking and living on rice and quiona for almost a month with the hiking and camping. I just don't feel superior. And know enough to know the frauds and heroin people just, guy when walking by just covered up in his blanket and was the morning and he was tired and just wanted to be left alone. I just gave him two dollars after a nudge and was on my way to a softball game and realized, I am blessed. Been homeless myself always by choice.
May seem weird but I have chosen that at times with furniture, money, and just, I can't take society and need a long break from stress. I have been broke long ago but from choice just to experience that feeling. Once again may seem weird but it doesn't matter. I learned much from my life experiences. Just to see that guy, and just saying, hey man, want a couple of bucks? Not a fucking saint. Just giving back some humanity to him and it has nothing to do with money.
Point being, sometimes the small things matter. You take esoterics. See the grid and everyone is connected and so many don't get it because they are ignorant to it because of the laws and whatever shit they have gone through in life. Hard won wisdom.
Nothing to do with the money, just humanizing him. Why does that hold value to me? Others are a waste but this 20 something person, the shame and then being revved up for a game it meant a lot to him.
Double vaxxed and ready to roam my city and the parts of the nation. Shit, I am not Christ. Sometimes the small things have larger meanings then one realizes when doing it. And it was enough and he got it.
You can't save the world.

I like Icelandic coins. They actually have value. Why do they go by coin for cryptocurrany when it has nothing to do with it and why are people leaving bitcoin for dogecoin?
