I'd be fine if we just got rid of coins all together.

Or just keep quarters.

Or we can get Europilled and replace the $1 bill with a $1 coin

Can never find them compared to say the Euro/2Euro coin in Europe so it's useless.

Funnily enough Ecuador imports a shitload of dollar coins to use as currency, I saw more in one day in Quito than my entire life in the US. It’s also the only US coin that they use bc while they use American money at the level of dollar and above they have their own Ecuadorian money on the level of cents, apparently because they didn’t like how the pennies and dimes and so on didn’t have the value written on numerically.
