....or maybe even the Federal Reserve to the possibility of moving away from low denomination paper currency.

What consumer walks around with the exact number of $2.00 bills in their pocket to make a $114 purchase at a retail store? Also, two dollar bills are issued all the time (last printing was in 2002), but most people when they get one just horde them as a souvenir or put them away thinking they'll become a collectible. They are very common in Nevada.

What we need to consider in this country, like Canada did a few years back is eliminate the small currency paper notes and use coins for $1, $2 and even $5 values.
