I just sent a little gal to the bank for change for the weekend: $21 cents,
$12 in nickels, $25 in dimes (had plenty of quarters on hand) and $300 in
singles. Can you imagine her carrying that sack if it were $300 in $1
coins?
That's just 2 registers. I wonder how much change big stores get?

Note: I'm a cent fan. I'm also a $1 coin fan. I have some on order from the
mint with free shipping that I intend to hand out in change and I've ordered
promotional supplies from the mint too. But if it were strictly $1 coins it
would be one big PIA. I say keep the note and the copper(zinc).

There's no reason to use so many dollar coins if you also use $2 bills.
