Here's what I never understood. Why MUST coins be made of odd metal alloys? Why can't they just be made from, say, aluminum, or steel for durability? They are only tokens with a given face value anyway. Now with the "new" pennies, they aren't even worth their weight in silver or copper.
Pretty soon, cash will be a forgotten relic anyway, IMO. The government will go to a cashless system so they can track all monies spent and where for what they will claim is tax purposes but will really be an attack on drug profits and citizens who for whatever reason choose to fly beneath the radar.

All money should be recorded on cards, like ID type cards. There'd be no need for paper or metal money at all!

Over here they started making the smallest value coins in steel fifteen or more years ago.

If Wikipedia can be trusted it was actually in 1992 and apparently as from this year at least some of the larger value coins will be steel too.

I think we should go back to using the teeth of our enemies as currency.

I like the way Clodfobble thinks.

Would I be worth less, then, what with my caps and all?

Dental gold is usually very pure, and is more valued than jewellery.
The trick is in finding a better class of hobo.

Caps are porcelain.. Will there be a big demand for toilet materials?
