US Mint has long-told of high penny cost; large nickel cost news to me.
Coin composition change makes sense to keep both penny and nickel coins available for use. And I DO want to see BOTH kept as coinage!
Why not just get rid of the dime--it's too small for our aging Boomer Population to easily handle.
By same thought, why not stop printing ten dollar bills? Keep ones and fives (2 fives=one ten).
US Mint must be clearing-out its older stock of State Quarters, as banks here currently carry shiny-coin "new" rolls from final 4 years of Mint's State Quarter Series.
As for using dollar coins as payment in stores, I do...but I NEVER GET THEM BACK as change. Getting them as change FROM a store would be useful to the Mint's fiscal ideals!
