Sorry about spelling error. People are "lazy", not "laze".

Rick, that isn't entirely true. Dollar coins would be popular if =
vending machines took them. They do not. Vending machines have been =
modified to take dollar bills, not dollar coins. If the machines would =
have been modified to take the coins, the dollar coins would likely have =
become more popular. Maybe not mainstream, but more popular. At least =
useful enough for people to carry around to use in vending machines at =
work or in public places like malls, airports, or whatever.
Coins are popular for saving because it's easy to do. We dump them in =
jars at home and then roll them up because it's an easy way to save. We =
then take the rolls to the bank and deposit them into our savings =
accounts. The dumb ones that are too laze to count them and roll them =
up themselves take them to those machines that count them up for them =
and give them a receipt. They "pay" for that service by not getting =
full value for their coins.
I think that eventually, pennies will likely be taken out of circulation =
altogether. It almost costs more than a penny to make a penny (if it =
doesn't already). Might as well just round things to the nearest nickel =
and forget about pennies.
