My point is that everyone needs to keep up with technology. Zcaveman sounded like he wanted a smartphone provided to him. There are cheap smartphones now also. Many years ago, Nokia was working on a system in Finland to use a regular cell phone to pay, you would dial your bank, enter the code number on the parking meter, enter your password and the money was transferred. A major bank has something like this here, I know because someone sent me money that way, had to make an account to get the money online, no charge. Look at PayPal.

Getting back to original topic. I ask for $ coins and can't get them, the Mint needs to distribute all of them to banks for us. The only way I see them is in proof coin set.
