Yea local parks and playground
Look very thin. Not many visitors
And quite a few folk with NO coins on
Their person.

I seem to find a lot more quarters on the surface than anything else. It's almost like people can't be bothered carrying pennies, nickels and dimes around any more.

Which is why we need to eliminate the penny and Nickel.
And spend halves and dollars

As I've said before--------------------------I'm old school, cash only guy. CC for making reservations or online purchases which are few.
Lets get rid of the 1 cent coins first and then work in the nickel elimination later.:happysmiley:

I'm trying to get those "lost" coins back in circulation as fast as I can...I detest having to give part of my hard earned money, wether found or worked for to others just because I use it.

Its not where you spend it.
Its about having coins on your
Person.the idea is if folks
Always pay card they will
Not have coin on them
If you go to store and pay cash
Then might have coin on you
On Tues when you visit beach

Why is the government wasting OUR money by still minting 7 BILLION cents a year? I think we have enough cents to go around for a few decades, even if we stopped minting them tomorrow!

They are not going cashless in the right neighborhoods. The problem is they are risky places to hunt and full of trash.

Most of the people who still spend cash you can find at public pools, school events, events in the park, church, etc.

I know some hunters who love detecting and yet
Are cutting own throat. If you are a techie and love
Paying electronically on every transaction soon there

Be no coins to find. Help this hobby survive.spend more cash.
And while your at it take someone to a park for non detecting
Recreation

Maybe a detector to find those plastic debit cards will be next for development!;D

(Scrounger forgot the most important part ....)

Pick 'em up by their ankles and swing in a circle. This distributes the change over a wider area, but if you want a spill, just shake 'em instead of swinging.
