QFT! I hate receiving change and finding out that they gave me a worthless Canadian coin. I can't go up to a soda/pop/Coke machine and plop the coin in there, it will throw it back. Now, if you go to a machine near the Canadian border, they accept Canadian coins for the same price as American coins, which means... discount!
Unfortunately, I don't live that close so they're utterly worthless and are given to me for the same "price" as their American counterparts, so I end up being ripped off.

Those of you who are so opposed to this, do you shop at places that accept credit cards?
Last time I checked credit cards are not legal US currency either.

Does anyone really have a problem with this that isn't a bigot, a moron, or cannot read?
No, so next thread.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I've got lots of currency in my house. I've got some euros (about 20 bucks in coins), Mexican Pesos, and Colombian pesos. I wish my Pizza place took pesos. 🙁

The hypocrisy over this is telling. Millions of Americans like to brag how our currency is so widely used and accepted across the globe. Now that a businessman is simply accepting the money (which will go into his bank and pad OUR GNP) he's a terrorist. Fact is, there's no real difference here than if the current system was used. The Bank will still exchange the currency for dollars. The only difference is that the merchant will be doing the transaction instead of the consumer. That's just a little added convenience for extra business.
No different than the local grocery store cashing personal or payroll checks in the hope that people will spend their new funds there.
Like I said, you've either got to be stupid or a bigot. Or, perhaps, you and dmcowen are into your third crack rock of the day and looking for more.

Not really.
Take for example lettuce picking. There exists machinery that can pick heads of lettuce, but it is just too expensive to purchase and maintain. You can hire a bunch of immigrants for below minimum wage and even in the long run, it is cheaper to keep using immigrants.

Pile of pesos + "1 USD = 10.9947 MXN" = pile of USD

Yeah. Or we could all start paying with credit cards, since they can't use credit card payments to pay the power bill either.
As a former person living in Denver, and seeing what is going on first hand (I moved from there 6 months ago.)
It has nothing to do with economics. It has everything to do with changing the culture over to mexican.
There's "mexican" parts of town (federal ave south of 6th avenue for anybody who wants to google maps it). Never see a USA flag, but you will see about 3 dozen Mexican ones on vehicles (painted on the hoods of cars), shops, bus stops as you are passing through town. Billboards are in spanish, you go into any shop and if you don't speak Spanish, they cop an attitude with you. (I had a hispanic friend who couldn't speak Spanish go in a pizza joint there, I think it was Little Cheezers and he was basically jeered out of there) They have a certain term for hispanics who have assimulated white (derogatory) And he was scared to go into that part of town...
This move doesn't suprise me as the next step.
I certainly see Denver being a huge battleground for Mexican/American culture... That was one of my deciding factors to move away from the city.
