2 cents worth

I bought something the other that cost a couple bucks and used a ten to pay, I got back a stack of Susan B's as change, great, now I'll walk leaning to the right until I can spend them. Anyway, I decided to go thru my change jar and dig out the 1$ coins in it, I ended up with over thirty, so I put them in the car to use whenever I go thru the fast food drive thru.
But it got me to thinking of when I did some traveling thru Canada, mostly in the BC and Vancouver Island, I got accustomed to their 1 and 2$ coins, and since their first paper money started at 5$, the coins actually seemed to be more convenient then using 1$ bills. It did make you consider the best way to use the money to pay for a transaction.
Too bad someone in our government can't make a decision to rid us of either the 1$ coin or the 1$ paper.

Anyway, just my 0.02cents worth

Word from the wise................never pay with a bag of 1$ coins, it will end up in the side of your head!
The government needs to get rid of the penny. Heard it costs more than 1 cent to make one.

All prices should be so that with taxes included it equals a whole dollar...no coins needed...they will have to change prices on tax free day of course.
