Should coins become history?

[Scarlett.]

I mean, we have the tech to have digital credits now, why are we still using coins (which have been used since roman times)?

[Tom]

Coins annoy me but if you're going to give someone money how do you get around it ... or if you forget your card?

Just give them less emphasis

[Scarlett.]

Send it them digitally xD with coins, you can lose money, with a card you cant

and to make it easier they could just like your account to your thumbprint or something

[arista]

No Chewy
We need more £5 coins.

[Nicky.]

I think just notes would surfice...

I found £10 in ASDA, this guy practically chucked it out of his wallet, so I grabbed it to give to him, but he was gone xD .... so yes, money is easy to lose!

:'D

[Shaun]

I prefer cash to digitalshit.

[arista]

The 99p store
market stals all need coins.

They are staying.

Chewy has this all wrong.

[arista]

I prefer cash to digitalshit.


Yes Shaun


Lay It On The Line.

[Scarlett.]

You can easily drop £20, then its gone forever, you cant drop something that is on a computer

[Shaun]

true, but stuff on a computer is prone to interference, technological failure and what not.

I of course keep big sums of money in banks, but for smaller transactions I just prefer to use coins/notes, they're pretty.

It can easily be corrected if there is an error :3 but they are prettyfull I guess, at least notes should be got rid of, there is no need for them

what if you buy somthing which is like £1
and you give them a £5 note and then can't give you change because coins don't exsist

By "coins" I meant all pyshical money

You cannot just answer yes or no because it is a typical economic issue. In the use of money, coins represent 10%, the other 90% is digital (SWIFT, Credit card...) so it looks like it's pointless.
However, coins influence on inflation and market prices. It is not only a currency concern but how it influences the prices. For example, making more coins will increase the prices but making no coins at all will be worse as the currency will be way under the level of other currencies, which means economic failure, stock exchanges crash and less exportations. The consequences are quite unpredictable: either the prices are way too low so everyone is buying from us, but we get screwed or the prices are way too high and no one will buy from us.
Therefore, not having coins or material support to pay with will make things rather horrible. And people aren't ready to change their habits.

Chewy does not care about you.

[Novo]

Chewy cares about everyone

[Scarlett.]

Indeed, I am the only person in the world who has thought of this arent I? Because the opinions on this forum represent the opinions of the whole of the world dont they?

[King Gizzard]

I wasnt directing that at chewy lol i'm all in favour of them scrapping coins etc but they won't let me have a debit card


+ kids and OAPS would till want to use coins and the lark, as they probably arent up to date with this new fangled technology/ internet accessable etc

[Captain.Remy]

Yes only Chewy wants this Silly Idea.

Well, many politicians and bank directors thought about it but the risks were way too high. And it's not quite the moment to mess up with economy. :hugesmile:

[Captain.Remy]

I hope I didn't make a bad ass amazing post for nothing :tongue:

[Stacey.]

:bored:
Coins are great,

[King Gizzard]

They should scrap putting 99p on prices cause it's annoying, I don't give a **** about the 1p, but then again it makes a product look cheaper ertc

The 99p Store has Expanded to most towns now
due to this New Labour Depression.

[LemonJam]

We have £1 notes over here. Yup.

[_Seth]

Abolish physical money. Debit and credic cards should be used forever. **** everything else. :)

[Shaun]

Chewy you've overlooked a horrific problem.

SHOPPING TROLLEYS.

*screams*

[Fom]

Money will never be got rid of, it is just part of culture.

[WOMBAI]

No - they still have their uses!

[Captain.Remy]

Money will never be got rid of, it is just part of culture.

Good point I forgot to mention in my essay on page 1 lol.
No really, coins are just bronze, they don't mean anything until people consider them as money hence the different shape of coins.
Getting rid of physical money is financially and economically impossible but also impossible on a socialistic and historical scale.

Good Point Shaun.

[Spud]

:wavey:Yeah, ban all coinage and bring in the euro. Then we will be dominated by what we fought against in the 1st and second world wars. Hey, coin man, do remember shillings? No, I don't either, except we carry them around with us everyday. 10p equals 2 shillings, and to lose a shilling meant spending the rest of your life in some instituion. Also, paper money, we could burn it all and finiah the atmosphere off all together. Who says money burns a hole in your pocket?! I would put a sarcastic smile here but KEEP THE POUND AND PENCE. DO NOT VOTE, the liberals, want europe, the torys hide their interest behind building british industry, and Labour, they are TORIES and LIBERAL mixed, KEEP THE FAITH, in wot is left of britain. We are seling out, SO we do need coins.:xyxwave:

sPUD

[bananarama]

Must keep coins. You can toss a coin but not a credit card. :hugesmile:

Think about numismatists. A world without a continuing supply of coins would ruin them....:nono:
