<p>[QUOTE="Pere, post: 1822956, member: 59199"]Comparisons with historical dollar coins are pretty meaningless. <i>One dollar</i> is worth far less today than it used to be. A dollar coin ought to be understood as pocket change, equivalent to what a quarter was in about 1976. We routinely and happily used quarter-dollar coins then, and it would have been ludicrous to argue that we needed 25-cent notes instead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
