My favorite web site: http://willallpreorderedcopiesofthefaultinourstarsbesigned.com/

In which John discusses the denomination effect and argues that we should stop printing one-dollar bills and transition to one-dollar (and two-dollar) coins, which according to the nonpartisan GAO will save the United States government 5.5 billion dollars over the next 30 years. (Also, John discusses loving the mountain goats and hating pennies.)

  • @Doin3sOff40s Bags of dollar coins; you could throw them on the floor like in the movies.

  • @LittleCaraBear They pay in credit cards and checks, which tend to round pennies anyway. Pennies, nickels, and dimes are useless.

  • Holy shit! I just opened my wallet - I have one pound and two pound coins in it!

    Britain. Better than yo shit.

  • GOOO CANADA!!!

  • Dude.... What ever you do...lol... dont ever drink coffee mixed w/red bull or something... Peace....

  • What will we pay our strippers with?0_o

  • @foodforthoughtFEAST Do you know what else happens when every price must end in a zero or a five? An increase in efficiency.

  • @foodforthoughtFEAST Only if you only paid in cash. Things in NZ still cost like "9.99" or whatever, we just don't have a coin to represent that cent.

  • It's also true that people like to "get rid of all this shrapnel" as they say when they pay in coinage at the supermarket. People Spend Coins. It's a fact.

  • @foodforthoughtFEAST I hope you're trolling. If not, change the name to doller store and bump all prices up 1 cent.
