Good question… I wonder if larger value coins could be used instead?

You’re probably right but I don’t think this concern should stop us making the change.

The businesses should add in the local sales tax to the price and adjust things to be a round number as necessary. Any business you are paying with cash should know what the sales tax is.

There are of course exceptions like buying gas or meat where you have to round when paying with cash.

Just force merchants to include tax in the price up front and you end up with round number pricing and pennies are no longer necessary in most cases. Many other countries do this and it works great.

This is a good idea. The nickel isn’t worth producing either. Then require businesses to include tax in their prices and it becomes way easier to use cash.

There are also savings possible by switching to dollar coins instead of dollar bills.

Incumbent parties globally lost support recently due to the inflation coming out of the COVID lockdowns. I think too many people here are also sexist and/or racist.

Sounds like a great day for a truly massive nationwide peaceful protest.

No, I left after Musk took over and everything started going downhill over there. I think it might have been the first mass layoff that motivated me to jump ship.

Just discovered Openvibe… an app that lets you use Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads from one app. But yeah I left Twitter 2 years ago as I recall

Some of us have been gone for years
