The fuck is a ' circular economy', wrong answers only.

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's one where you only pay in coins. Economists are fighting about whether round bills would also work but it's a controversial take among experts.

Finally, a use for my vast collection of antique coin purses. I cherish this potential future. Economists, you better come through for me on this one.

What about Australian 50 cent coins?

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Had to look them up. But no, absolutely not. Any N-gon that is closer to a 1-gon than to an ∞-gon would definitely do more harm than good.

What about the fact that regular "circular" coins in most countries are actually ridged? Dimes and quarters, in America, have 118 and 119, respectively.

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

You'll have to ask an economist about that. The next one you meet, just ask them that question witout context. They'll know what you're talking about.

It's one where corporate profits go to its workforce so that they can in turn have more economic spending power.

Is that the one where you encircle all the greenwashing strategies you want to employ?
