Dollar coins

I am back. I had a Valentine's Day memory to share with you all but I may do it tomorrow. It is fitting as the memory in question occurred when Valentine's Day fell on a Wednesday. In any event, I have something new.

Apparently, the Americans are looking to replace their one dollar bill with a coin. We have had that in Canada since 1987. It does devalue the dollar as it becomes just more "change" or something to fall through your pockets. However, the cost of making them and their longer lives, metal is more durable than paper, means that it makes sense economically. Hell, the cost of a penny is greater than it's face value, so go figure that one.

Anyway, there is a lot of resistance to making this change amongst Americans polled. Again, I do understand why. The thing that got me thinking is that what will happen in strip bars. I mean a wad of dollar bills can go a long way for both the girls and the patrons. A garter or sock can hold an awful lot of dollar bills. The girls do have a handy, and attached, coin slot, er, slit, but I am not sure they will want their cold cash going there directly.

That was just the image that I had. Any comments out there? Ciao!
