Yes, I would but it would help if it was not the size of a quarter. In fact I have tried to ask for coins at the bank but they rarely have any these days. Guess they melted them all back down.
Love coins. I wish we had nothing but coins. I like the jingle, I like the fact that they’re not ruined if they go through the washing machine, and I like feeling like a pirate when I have a sackful of coins.
I got a bunch from a train ticket machine (NYC). I am going to put them into the coin counter which will end up deposited in my bank account. Too heavy to carry around in the wallet.
No. The real problem is weight. If I have $10 in coins in my pocket, it os heavy and starts ripping through the pocket of my jeans. $10 in bills has no effect/
We have pound coins here which are much more convenient than those tatty bits of paper we used to use. I rarely have more than three or four coins in my pocket at one time so carrying them about isn’t a problem. If I end up with more I just save them.
I live in Canada, where we have $1 and $2 coins. I hated the idea before it was implemented, but we got used to them ridiculously quickly. They’re better for coin-operated machines, like for laundry, public transit, etc. Now, when I travel to the US, I am constantly irritated by the $1 bills that accumulate. This is how humans are. We adapt.
