The quarter

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Americans seem to love their dollar bills; they are kinda sacred. I have always found dollar coins hard to find. So that means the highest denominated coin which is easy to find is the quarter or 25c. So anything which requires coins in the slot requires quarters and that means you have to carry a sackful. I hoard them when I am over there, fearing I might get caught without them.
It's absurd that a modern western nation should have such a low value top coin. And don't give me all that 'but we'd have to change the slot machines' crap. Europe has been doing that for years.

Bring on Susan B. Anthony I say.
