Cutting 5 cents from circulation

[Fulvio]

You can't stop progress, though they are trying too in the USA on some things, like removal of $1 banknotes. I say resize all the coins for the current economy.

Why bother? Physical money is already a tiny percentage of the economy, and shrinking. This is like arguing for smaller stamps, when most mail is franked.

Because it is fun, and I doubt physical money is a tiny percentage of the economy, the smaller priced items are still in coinage, like meat pies. Oh and the majority of chinese shops I have been too, deal in cash and not cards. Like Yum Cha.

they reckon there is more actual cash in the economy now that there ever was

post the GST tax system

I have a friend who is 86 and a dad who is 95 and no way will they get cards of any sort.  They hate them and reckon it's too easy to spend money when you can't see it actually leaving your hand.  

2 Very wise ppl and me too, I love to collect it :-)

I like stamps and coins and cards they all have a place for me
