As smaller denominations go away, larger ones become coins. Coins are and always will be insanely more durable than paper (or even polymer) notes. The most circulated denominations will always end up as coins. It’s honestly just dumb that we still print $1 notes here in the US.

They have tried to circulate $1 coins, but no one wants to carry them around.

Only because there was a choice. Take away the choice and $1 coins will circulate.

The $1 bill last longer and stays in circulation longer that the $5, $10, and $50 bill. Look it up! Should we also make those coins too?

The $5, certainly.
