Yes, but that's how you take 'old' money out of circulation: every time money is being deposited at a bank, you siphon off the old bills and send them back to the national bank or the mint (depending on the country). You only give out the new bills or coins uppon a withdrawal.

Because that would make huge public anger

Because people would have been pissed. Since this decision was made by politicians, they didn't want to vote on something that would piss off voters. Besides, it could had been harmful to people who rely on tips to get by. No more bills, no more tips.(And no people wouldn't just tip coins instead, they'll stop carrying coins and just their card everywhere)

@@Thumbsupurbum As someone living in europe, we constantly tip 1 euro coins, so I don't feel like that would be the case

I got two rolls from my bank and intend to circulate them. I know some coin collector is furious that I put two fresh mint rolled coins into circulation but it's what the coin gods intended.

Spread your love of dollar coins. It's simple, any bank can order $1 coin rolls, get them and use them.

Who in their right mind would pay over $1 to recieve $1?

@@zombieguyproducion There was a big story about this years ago, and the video did a poor job explaining it. One guy was able to get a million points on his airline card. This made him a "premium" frequent flyer for life. He gets automatic 1rst class upgrades, priority seating (he can't get bumped), concierge service, for life. In addition, he got something like the equivalent of 20 free domestic or 4-5 big international flights for free. All for picking up coins at his mailbox and driving them to the bank. One guy broke his axle he had so many in his trunk. If you had a cash back card, spending $1 million over a year earned you $10K back - and I'm not sure that income is reported. What the video also got wrong was that the credit card fee was the screw to the government. it wasn't, not by a long shot. It was the free shipping of hundreds/thousands of pounds (or kilos if you prefer) of coins via the US postal service. Sending just a 100 coins would have cost about $5 in postage; but because the government "paid" for this (that means the taxpayers), the excessive coin buyer dodged hundreds if not thousands of dollars in postage fees. The smarter move would have been for the government to limit the free shipping to like 500 coins per year. Still, if you recognized this when it happened, and took advantage of it you didn't do anything wrong; and a few people who really miked it have travel perks that continue to this day.

@@kd8opi I think you missunderstood my comment. If you removed free shipping then the price of buying a dollar coin would go above $1. You'd be losing money on buying the coins 🤷‍♂️

The mint would have to pay an armored truck to deliver that cash (or coin) to a bank for regular distribution. I don't know how much per pound armored trucks charge but it isn't done for free like they run a charity. ACH was in use back in 2011 so they should have just required a bank draft or mail in a check or money order and add a processing fee for cards just like the tax office charges.

@@TheAnantaSesa They just left it at your door. You can google the stories about it - it was crazy. People would get 10K in coins, and it weighed like 300 lbs. Then they'd have to deposit them in their bank, but most banks wouldn't take that many at once, so you had to do it over time, like $1000/day. One guy managed to get 4 million airline miles in one year.
