<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1300190, member: 29643&quot;]Doing away with the first saves the US gov&#039;t $133mm a year. Doing away with the second saves the US gov&#039;t $1.546T a year and removes about $116T of liabilities from the overall ledger (or about $4T from the current national debt).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;m for keeping the dollar bill. History seems to show that elimination of notes from the currency stream results in inflation. I&#039;m probably viewing this wrong, but the main example I can think of is Japan. In the 1870s, 1 yen contain 24.26g of silver and 1 Trade Dollar contained 24.48g of silver. Since then, the smallest note in US currency circulation has remained the $1 bill. By contrast, the smallest note currently issued by the BOJ is the 1000 Yen note.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coincidence? Maybe. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (For the record, it costs 2642 yen and $34 for 1 troy ounce of silver today. SAVE THE DOLLAR BILL!!!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
