I hate coins. Does't matter the currency. I don't have a change purse, no coin slot in my wallet. They rattle around in my pocket and are unnecessarily heavy

  I'm not sure if 1 eur notes would be really any better than the coins we have now. I personally find small currencies difficult anyways, as I have grown up using plastic as payment.

  I hate having a huge stack of $1 bills even more, especially given the state of US paper bills now (hello wear and tear) and that they are identical in size and feel to all the other bills. When I was vacationing in Europe, I absolutely loved the euro and pound coins for their convenience of not having to dig through bills in my wallet (and the 1/2 euro coins especially, for the way they were executed). Nevermind that the bills too are a lot nicer than what the US has today, and we're barely catching up with this whole color thing. I love the idea of $1 coins too, but I think they were badly executed in the US for a long time where the $1 coin was not much different in look and feel from a quarter. Nowadays it's really only that whole thing about retailers not wanting to accept it/customers not wanting to use it. I think the US should make a huge push towards getting rid of the $1 and $2 bills in favor of coins. There's so many positives to this I can't even begin to imagine (for one, not having to carry around $10 worth of quarters to feed parking meters for a single hour where I don't necessarily feel like swiping my credit card...).

  I don't have a change purse, no coin slot in my wallet. Well … there’s your problem.

    I don't want to carry those around either. Honestly, I prefer just having a few bills and a credit card.
