We don’t even need the choking hazard of coins to justify getting rid of them. There is essentially nothing you can buy that is individually less than a quarter in value, and probably still not a whole lot that is less than a dollar. Maybe some disposable shopping bags? Some screws at the hardware store? I think the US could eliminate coins and start printing 25 cent or maybe 50 cent bills, or perhaps not even do that at all. Transactions under a dollar could be rounded up or be made electronically (eliminate the minimum flat fee part of card transactions first, though).
