#AskSwell Is coin money worth minting anymore?
And the things that you used to use coins for, like toll booths and laundromats, credit or parking meters, now, they all take credit cards as well and really don't have a need or are automated in the case of, like, buses and tolls, really don't have a need for those coin operated beans anymore

Then later on, the coin usage from innocuous metals, it became to silver, it became to bronze, copper and gold itself to signify the value of the coin in terms of the metal that was used and how much that metal was used. And that particular thing is still common in the day to day coin that we use now. I don't know about the US system, and I'm thinking that you're probably speaking from the average us citizen mindset now
And on those coins, it's a symbol. It's political, it's divine. It's in God we trust. We don't trust in the marketplace. We don't trust in the value of the coin. We don't trust in the government that mints it. We trust in God

Hey, Phil, you know, people aren't using change anymore. They just aren't like you expressed. Credit cards, debit cards, tap to pay, you know, and then they say, do you want to donate your change? You know? So a lot of people are doing that because they just don't want coins. They don't want to put them in their pocket, their purse. They don't want to have to fish them out. People are just ready to move on
