Looks like you’re right about bills. That surprised me in the US though — they use some special h h emp-based paper, and they weave in anti counterfeit strips etc etc. but they claim it only costs six cents or so per note.

In the US it costs more to make a five cent piece than it is worth. I don’t hear people complaining about getting rid of nickels though.
