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 Ł5 coins.

[Nicky.]

I think just notes would surfice...

I found Ł10 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

You can easily drop Ł20, 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

oh okay,
then you make a good point

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.

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

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.

[Captain.Remy]
