Increase the value of the COIN and definitely, we would start using them.

+1

na only shoprite i don see for where dey they spend coins

If they can put th price of petrol at say 67Naira N68 or 103 then people should always ask for their change!!!
they should stop rounding off the price

Then pple will start buying 10litres for N670, N680 and 1030 respectively, no coins

if we should go back to coins, then all those politicians carrying ghana must go will be in serious trouble ooo!  imagine how much weight they will be carrying around!

It is because coins can cause injury to people's faces when being sprayed in owambe parties.

ppl rejects it, even if u bring N10 worth in coins to purchase an item worth N10, the market woman would reject it, so it the mentality attached to it, as worthless, i remenber when i was still very young we value coins, and we saved and valued it if its been given to us as a gift, but now e don change, make u make mistake give small pickin coins now, even if the coins wey u give am worth N20, e go use am stone u

dats crazy
you can just go somewhere buy food finish eating and pay with coins see if they will reject it

Coins are still used in University of Ibadan although it is strictly for the cabs in the school. People are beginning to reject them as well

Inflation, Nigeria is becoming poor.

is that wat u think?

Are you serious? Sweet is one for five naira?

[size=13pt]When the government was reintroducing coins, she dint consider what goods are services would be a base to absorb such new things that most individuals would not readily accept. In countries like europe, coins were very prevalent in trade because many essential services like paying for parking space, phone calls at phone boots, drink and coffee dispensers use coins. Since this is what people use everyday and the services were there, of course, they had to have coins to use. I was thinking the government was going to adopt a similar approach and provide services in such a way that coins would find a home but lailai, government would just copy and think that every other thing would sort itself out. [/size]

things are way too damn expensive in nigeria, even sweets are sold for 10 bucks,

As a previous poster said, change all naira notes below N200 to coins. We, the people will accept them.

I remember using coins to support 'kola' in our tradition
Bring back coins I say - it's nothing to do with value of money

What have you and I do to bring those coins to use? I think if we can profer answer to this question by our attitude, I guess the coins would be itself in our country again and the issue of inflation would be drastically reduced at the long run.

There's this 'coin-phobia'.people dont want to use them even some banks reject them too.the last time i saw some coins was at a friends place.gues what they used them for - Antiques.

so you be one of those wey dey visit that strip joint for allen avenue, abi? 

In ghana they use coins and its pretty cool instead of always holding notes

how will we use coins when people think its degrading to pull out a 5 naira bill from their pockets? we think we are upclass peeps but we are just bunch of ignorant people who are open to being cheated cuz of pride, mean while 'the MAN' is taking murderous advantage of this, especially in the fuel sector. or where do u think your 4 naira change from 3,500 worth of fuel goes? multiply 4 bucks by the number of cars that pull up to get fuel in a day then you'll know how we make this a**holes rich. besides i think there's this cool thing about coins, u nko?

What are you guys saying about the use of coins, some body said that every country in Europe use coin, forget about Europe and let's talk Libya in north Africa, till date they still use coin, they have 1/4dinner,1/2dinner coin and note, a litter of fuel is 1/4dinner, for me they have to bring down the cost of things so that we can be abore to use coin in Nigeria again

I agree with you
