Re: New $1 coin- would the changes make YOU use them?
Move to Australia: they use coins in denominations of 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, and $2, AND coin use is very widespread.
Notice the conspicuous lack of pennies? Yeah, it's because THEY ROUND UP/DOWN TO THE NEAREST 5c. SO AWESOME.
AND tax is included in listed prices, so when you see something at Hungry Jack's (Australian branch of Burger King) for $2.00, you know it's not really F*!@ing $2.12 like here in the States.
Man I wanna go back there.
