Quote from: kalvado on Today at 12:53:14 PMQuote from: akotchi on Today at 10:02:55 AMThe silver dollars (Morgan and Peace) circulated. Currency existed, though not sure if it was that prevalent at the time.It's been a while since I used cash as a primary payment method... but back then coins were flowing both ways for me, and I would be OK with pretty large nomination coins as long as they were not too heavy. Carrying coins, except for a stray coin or two, isn't really a thing for me any more. Most wallets are cards-and-bills these days anyway.
Currency took over during the 36-year gap between dollar coin issuance, which also saw the elimination of precious metal (silver) from the coin. I have to believe that this gap doomed the relevance of a dollar coin (especially one that large) while a dollar bill circulated.
Even with the smaller coin, dollar bills still rule -- who wants a pile of dollar coins in their pocket? I see dollar coins mainly at train/subway stations. As long as dollar bills are still made, no dollar coin of any type will circulate widely. Any that are made now, Native American or American Innovation, are for collectors (not for circulation). And . . . the U.S. Mint still makes money making money.
Canada and Europe seem to do well without 1 and 2 dollar/euro bills.
Today, coins are mostly tossed into the bowl - and recently I dumped $120 worth of change into a change machine. If there were dollar coins in that mix... I would likely be less comfortable with parking that much money on a shelf, but what would that mean in reality? More frequent bank visits or less cash overall?
I am not sure what I would do if I got $1-2-3 into that bowl instead of 25-50 cents each time I buy coffee for cash.
Quote from: webny99 on Today at 11:37:18 AM^ All I'm saying is a somewhat similar strategy worked out OK for the Packers with Jordan Love and even better for the Chiefs with Mahomes. Even though the financials here are a bit different, the fact that they just paid Cousins so much money is arguably the worse move. It's a unique approach, but too early to say for sure that it was a bad move since the projected upside is long-term rather than immediate. If the pick hits, the contract stuff won't matter as much, and certainly won't be a talking point in 5+ years.
Quote from: triplemultiplex on Today at 10:51:58 AMBears quarterback cycle:I agree, it will be different. Every Packers fan I know (which is a lot considering where I'm from) has that same dismissive energy about this Bears team. These are not the same old Bears, maybe you'll realize soon enough.
pre-draft hype
underwhelming start
glimmers of hope
one really good game or two
regression to the mean
whole season of mediocrity
benched
cut/traded
<start over>
I'm sure it'll be different this time.
