Coins versus bills

I don't think many will dispute the fact that we tend to value promissory notes (bills) more than coins, typically because they are in fact worth more than their metal counterparts. But, here in the Great White North (Canada), our one and two dollar bills were both replaced by coins some time ago. It's quite easy to undervalue just how much in coins one has. Today, I decided to count how much change I have in my car. Not including all the quarters and smaller change, I have $31 in change. Now, that's just plain silly.
