Dollar Coins

Why don't people in the U.S. use their dollar coins? In Australia, they don't even have a $1 note, but they've got $1 and $2 coins, so when you gather spare change in a cup by your desk the end result is often something like $23.45. In the U.S., the end result is often $2.93. Perhaps it's time we got rid of the $1 bill.

Pennies, too. It's about time we get rid of them. Round everything to the nearest nickel. Same us the time and trouble of counting the pennies, of pinching the pennies, of offering pennies for thoughts and putting our two cents in.

That's all for now.
