re: Do people ever use coins anymore?

The only time I have loose change in my pocket is if I pay cash for something and get it back in the change from my purchase. I will take it out once home and put it in a change jar to bring to the bank at least once a year or so.

I don’t use dollars much less coins... all my coins sit in my son’s piggy bank

I often park downtown and need coins for the meter but rarely have them. It’s a pain in the arse.

For some reason I really dislike loose change. They're inefficient, dirty, and I associate them with clutter.

I use a credit card with rewards for almost everything then pay it off every month. I use a debit card for small transactions since the fees are minuscule. The only thing I keep cash around for is the occasional need to leave a tip and there's no option to do it on the card but it's never coins.

Even vending machines are accepting debit cards these days.

A lot of convenience stores in my area don't give pennies back as change any longer. If its less than 5cents, they just give you a nickel.

what is the point of carrying cash now a days? I never carry cash
