[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

There's no practical, economical use for both the paper dollar bill and the penny. At the gas station, the tray is full of pennies. If I drop a penny, it's staying on the ground. Get rid of both of them, and for the dollar bill just phase it out completely instead of ridiculously keeping it in circulation while pissing money away on special designs for the $1 coin. Put Lady Liberty on it and be done with it.

Also a $1 coin would be a boon for the laundromats, vending machines, restaurant tips, and the jukeboxes at the bars.

I pick up any money I see on the ground. one time it was a 20 dollar bill, but pennies add up too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the gas station where I go, they have a “penny tray” and beside it, a small sign that states:

Got a penny? Leave a penny.

Need a penny? Get a job.

What makes you think waitresses want to lug around 100 dollar coins in their apron ?

Maybe familiarity will change their minds, but the servers I know consider tips left as coins to be an insult — even if it is a stack of quarters, they’d rather have the equivalent in dollar bills.

Besides, coins don’t stay in a garter belt the way dollar bills do.

It’s bad luck to leave a penny on the ground.

Dollar bills are extremely filthy! They are bacteria factories, The metal coins are naturally anti-bacterial, Much safer health-wise. Just imagine where the hands that have held those bills have been!

If I drop a penny, it's staying on the ground...

Finding a penny on the ground is like someone paying me a small amount to exercise a small amount.
