Sorry Europe and Canada, $1 and $2 coins are just absolutely terrible. I never want to have to think about where my change is. Bills are much lighter than coins and stack with the rest of the bills.


I want to get rid of bills and move to only coins. We can carry coin pouches and act like a medieval/fantasy novel character.


IMO best would be some kind of money where you could physically break a given piece of cash into two pieces of half the value.


So pieces of eight?


Pieces of thirty would let you split the booty 2-, 3-, or 5-way.


When I was in Japan everything was all-cash and the smallest bill was the equivalent of a $10, with equivalents to $1 and $5 coins being in common circulation. Most wallets they sold/people had had a coin pocket to account for this.
