I walk out the door with anywhere from $20 to $100. Since I don't drive, I always need to have money for taxis. The weight of a hundred dollar-coins in my purse would be unmanageable. Why do they keep trying to foist these stupid coins on us?



May I suggest $5 bills?

Back a generation or two ago, we all got by just fine when a $1 bill was worth more than a $5 is today. (And the penny back then was worth more than today's nickle, and no one anguished about buying bits of candy, or evil tax rounding stealing their wealth.)

I carry 5's, 10's, 20's. But who wants to carry that much in coins?
