Should the $1 bill be ABOLISHED?

I don't usually ever have cash on me.  For example, today I am planning on getting poop faced on the flight up to P-town.

The airline does not take cash, credit or debit only Smile

They're kept around because they're easier to give to strippers.

Joking...I don't know. I'd be ok with having $1 coins, even $2 coins. Living in Australia for 6 months, I got used to them real quick. Loved it. It makes long-term financial sense for the country in that they last for so long in circulation v. the paper stuff.

Funny you mention strippers... My buddies and I went to Niagra Falls a few years back (the Canada side) and the lowest bill they have is a $5bill. Not only was I very annoyed with the multitude of $1 and $2 coins in jingling around in my pocket (apparently they're called loonies and toonies), I was pretty frustrated when I realized I had to give the lovely ladies of the Sundowner $5 bills.

I'm not one that frequents strip clubs though, so the reason why I would hate if they got rid of the $1 bill here is because I hate having change in my pockets.

You get to keep your man card sir, gratz!

No, I don't carry a purse like men in Europe and Canada do and you cannot carry coins in a proper wallet.  Merica.  I think we should have a 50 cent bill.

Loonies and Toonies are what they are called.

Loonie because of the Loon on the coin.
Toonie because its two dollars. Rymes with loonie. That is your good ole Canadian humour right there.

Before the debit card craze, I will agree that your pockets did get full of change. And it was annoying. Now that  everyone (at least in Canada) uses debit cards, there is NO money at all in your pockets. Change or bills.  I do keep some bills and change in my pockets, but never too much change that is tiresome.

I dont know how it is in Ontario's strip clubs.(I do know in the States that you stuff the dollar bills in their panties) but in Quebec the panties COME OFF. Cool  Yes, everything is revealed. If you see the girl on stage with all the other dudes, payment is not necessary. The girls make their money at your table. It used to be $5 dollar per dance. That was calculated by song. 5 songs = 5 dances = $25.  No need for coins or dollar bills.
The real fun, however, is in the private booths. Yes at the table the panties are off as well, but in the private booth the dances are $10 per song. What happens at the private booths? Well, Come to Montreal and find out. Smile  I promise you that Montreal, Quebec, Canada out sins "Sin City" Nevada. Cool

No. Dollar bills are lighter and more portable than four quarters. If you don't wanted a dollar bill, you can go into any store and ask for an exchange.

I love this conversation.  Money forms are debated by how well they work at strip clubs.

I actually hate all of our coins. All the pennies, dimes, and nickels just piss me off and wind up on te ground somewhere. Quarters are the only ones worth having. I also like paper money for its fold ability and light weight

What would the strippers do without the 1$ bill? Do you really expect them to have quarters danglin around in their thongs? Not cool Grin

European ideas are bad ideas.
Having a single unit coin is a European idea.
Therefore, having a single unit coin is a bad idea.

Because you can't put coins in a stripper's g-string.

Can't the strippers just put them in the coin slot?  Grin
