Dollar Coin or Dollar Bill

[bmcox86]

i read in the paper this morning that they are reissueing the dollar coin, i also read that if we got rid of the dollar bill it would save are governement lots of money each year, but the problem with this is that 3/4 of americans are agaisnt replaceing the bill with a coin, i 4one am not, i think if its going to save us money why not do it, i mean heck i no it would be alot easier to put a coin inside a coke machine instead of paper

replacing the bill with a coin...can you imagine how heavy carrying 70-80 dollars in coins around in your pocket...might throwout a hip:eek: and we all know that anything the govt. says will save money will do just te opposite:D

[bmcox86]

why couldnt u just carry 10s or 20s or even 5s , is there a reason to carry 80 one dollar bills or coins in this case

[bmcox86]

to clarify im just talking about just replacing the the one dollar bills not all bills

Bet if you check your wallet you have several 1 dollar bills as we all do may only be 6-7 dollars but through the course of a day they do add up
and what happens when you go shopping and keep getting 1 dollar coins as change..I just see a major snafu:D just my 2 cents worth but thats another story all together:p

[drhnter]

Oh yeah and have you ever tried to put them in your wallet they are uncomfortable to sit on:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :D

The strippers are gonna have a hard time with that new money.

You want to get rid of something, loose the penny, its obsolete, you can't by anything for 1 cent.

not really... just insert!

how is it cheaper to make a coin which is metal than to make a paper bill? I dunna understand...

[jcreamer]

Didn't they try this with the Susan B Anthony and it did not work?

Govt at it's best...lets make a dollar coin the same size,shape, weight as a quarter and they wonder why it didn't work out:confused:

I hate coins as it is. They are just a pain
to carry around and deal with.

[Lipyourown]

Metal detectors may become too much of an issue. Get rid of the penny first! 1 penny has $.1 of copper in it!

[Talapia]

Pennies are no longer made with copper...

Pennies...one my pet peeves.
They price everything like 2.76 or
2.89, etc, etc, so you end up with
like a handful every day. Pennies
are more of a marketing/price gimmick
then anything else. How many times
do you see things prices at 2.99 just
so they can say it was $2.:mad:
gas stations are about the worst
at doing that. It is always
.99 something....

get rid of the dollar bill, but make the dollar coin smaller, but very dark, so no one will be confused. susan b. anthony is the biggest disaster because it looks like a quarter. also dollar coins are too bulky for most people.

Got to keep the Dollar Bill! How else can
have a wad of 30 one dollar bills with a 50 bill
over it and front like I have money to
burn!:D :D

P.S. How about that last win over Duke!

Coins are cheaper in the long run as the average life of a dollar bill is about 15-18 months. Compare that to a coin which is more durable and lasts years. Coins are the better investment as far as costs go.

Then there are the various lobby groups who don't want to lose the business of creating our beloved "greenback".

BTW, Canada has been using coins for their Loonies($1) and Twoonies($2) for years.
