<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1301009, member: 66"]Actually they have never tried eliminating the dollar bill before. Dollar coins were made but no steps made to eliminate the bill.

MORE coins were made and now thirty two years after they started the first real piece of legislation has been introduced to eliminate the bill.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Uh, actually Europe and Asia copied the US. We were the first country to introduce a small sized coin the same as the base unit paper note. The difference was that Europe, Asia and the other countries went that one last step that made it successful and eliminated the paper note. Should the US have a new motto?
