Coins are horribly inconvenient compared to bills.


Do you have any experience in countries with large denomination coins? Anything smaller than a quarter is super annoying, even the quarter is borderline. It says something when a countries largest coin is too small to be useful. A 500 Yen (~$4) coin OTOH, is super nice.


I'm in the UK which has £1 and £2 coins and the smallest note is £5

I'd much rather have £1/£2 notes instead

Specifically, it says "we haven't redenominated our currency in a while".
