Yeah. Paying with a debit card is almost unheard of here.
They also have 500 and 100 yen coins, which would be the equivalent to a $5 and a $1 coin. I love them. I'm sold on America switching to coins for dollars.
Right now I have amassed a mountain of useless 1 yen coins, and I have no idea what to do with them. They aren't worth enough to carry around. :/ They do float on water though, so that's cool.
End the penny please.
I like pennies!

That awkward moment when you have to wait for a penny change and don't really want to say "keep the penny" because it's like giving a really bad tip to the cashier or something, maybe it's against company policy so it makes it awkward for them, there's no donation box etc. And they're like "here's your PENNY!" and you're thinking "I knowwww"
Probably just me
They are useful in that they're probably good news for charities. I've had many instances of a bulging wallet full of pennies and just dropped them into the charity box to get rid of them.
Bring on the cashless society I say, let's have little proximity cards you can top up with £10 or whatever. Some banks have it but currently they rely on expensive terminals that only Greggs have.
Doesn't happen here. I can't even remember the last time I went anywhere that didn't have a debit machine.Why?
I like to eat at a lot of small family-owned places that can't afford credit card fees, so I need cash to eat there.
The comic book store I go to used to have a policy of buying at least two comics to pay with debit because the fees made it so paying with debit for one basically ate all of their profits on the sale. That was a few years ago though. I went in a month or two ago and there was only one new release on my account. I had no cash on me so I offered to just run to the bank around the corner and get some, but was told not to worry about it. They pay next to nothing for the machine and for using now since the fees are really being levied more on the consumer than on the business now, which is kind of the smart way to do it if you want electronic payments to become the norm.
TLDR: You're banking system is smurfed.
Also, come to Canada if you like $1 coins so much. We've even got a nifty looking $2 coin. It has a polar bear on it.
pennies are a symbol of FREEDOM
NOT PENNYS BOAT
yeah not so smurfing dumb now is it
They slip out of my pocket and roll everywhere. I can't actually remember the last time i used a penny. Nickels are more useful. Just make more $1 and $2 bills and smurf pennies.
Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
I keep my pennies in a piggy bank until there's enough to roll up then I go cash them in at the bank for $7 in quarters then do laundry.
I hate the dollar coins I get from the MTA machine especially when I put in a $20. And that's another thing irks me about money distribution in this country. Why can't I take out a $10 or $5 bill from the ATM?
I don't even like using physical money anyway.

I would. While he is 'tooo' muscular, still. I would.
