I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure you can hit up your bank for some silver dollars. I know you can get $2 bills.

In fact, I have integrated $2 bills into my cash habits, regularly paying with and leaving them as tips. I pretty much do it for the funny looks I get.

Also, aren't there like at least 3 or 4 different dollar coins? I know there are the silver dollars, those Sacagawea coins, and the golden dollars that were popular a few years back...

coins are infinity times better because you don't get ****ty vending machines rejecting the coins like you do with bills =D

you're using vending machines THAT often that that's really a concern? lol. also it's rare to find a bill that absolutely would not work in a vending machine, although it is annoying when it takes multiple tries.

seriously though coins are a ****ing hassle to keep track of (they don't fold into a nice roll of money like bills)

coins fit nice and snuggly into my wallet/car tray and make buying things from vending machines/paying for my parking ticket at the machines twenty times easier

i use vending machines multiple times a day because often my breaks between classes are too short to go and get a decent meal

uni vending machines HATE HATE HATE bills or are out of order, no exceptions

pub transport vending machines don't give exact change

coins are good because you can have a heavy wallet, making you feel like a fatcat

But then buying a 1 dollar bag of chips at the store is always like 1.17 with tax and you're like welp bit with two dlar coins everything is easy and managable.

Using two dollar bills would be awesome though. Need to start picking those up

Does everyone in Australia live off of vending machines? Seriously, I can't remember the last time I used one of those...

And coins in wallets is a terrible idea. Your wallet ends up all permanently misshapen and awkwardly wide at those points where the coins all settle, and if you walk around with your wallet in your back pocket, that is probably the worst thing ever.

Regarding the coin tricks, American still has plenty of coins, bro! The French drop is always a classic and never fails to impress!

Although I will admit, being able to roll a coin across your knuckles is the most badass thing ever, and I always keep a quarter or two (or poker chip) for exactly that purpose.

well metal in general smells a bit funky

it also sorta wears off on your hands and feels kinda gross

maybe you just have exceptionally clean coins

i know this one guy who absolutely refuses to touch coins. he won't even accept change.

$1.17? Here in California bags of chips were like 99 cents and now they're $1.09 and there's no tax on that. ****, I miss being able to pay for a bag of chips with just a dollar and now I have to carry change to buy chips :mad:

To Americans,

To everyone else, specifically people who know there **** technologically, how about a smashboards app??
Thoughts?

there needs to be an app which reads the context of the inputs 'there', 'their' and 'they're' and can correct them consistently
I agree 100% - their is just way too many people who make this sort of mistake, and to be quite honest, there really starting to anger me. Life would be so much simpler if people just learned they're damn homophones.

IDK about ballin because it's kind of weird he only pointed out one, so either he was forcing me to point out I misused all three or he just missed them accidentally

IDK about Kero because his grammarz aren't the greatest

IK about you though ;)

I used all three homophones wrong. Can't tell if trolling, but regardless you suck at life for forcing me to explain.

Can't tell if Kero is serious either.

Actually, I probably would do something like that though so idk.

Yeah my doctor told me that I should try to never get mildly angry a single time in my life due to the high risk to my coronaries
