The myth of "heavy" dollar coins
Here's a Boston Globe article that continues the myth that dollar coins
are heavy. It seems the T is putting in change machines that transform a $20 into four $5s because people have been complaining about getting too many dollar coins in change. http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas...006/05/14/t_se eking_to_lighten_that_heavy_load/ First, I always travel with at least seventeen dollar coins in my pocket, plus other change, and my "internal gyroscope" hasn't broken. Second, if people would _spend_ their change, they'd find their pockets would be much less full of coins, dollar or otherwise. Third, the T machines are a good place to get dollar coins if you're near Boston and your local bank refuses to supply them. Paul -- Paul Anderson OpenVMS Engineering Hewlett-Packard Company |

Or howabout 80 quarters? -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G. Koerner May they | | | | | | rise again!

Dollar coins are the sensible thing to dispense compared to 20 dollar bills, 80 quarters, or how about 40 half dollars??? Are those twenty dollar bills in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
