It doesn't save US anything. We will pay and business will pay through the increased cost of handling coin. The real conspiritors are the clothiers who are going to make a fortune marketing clothing with re-enforced pockets and replacing clothing that is stretched out of shape from carrying coin. When there isn't a logical reason, there is a conspiracy. Or did you just think they're dumb? -- Larry Phillips ljp@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca (403) 473-8623 Make Quantum 2000 happen!
