[QUOTE="Cashmoney, post: 1048215, member: 28163"]Yes. I am serious. The number one complaint is that nobody wants to carry coins aroound with them in their pockets, purse, etc, right? Well why have COINS when you could have 1, or 2 of them? But seriously, how many $1 or $2 coins would you have at any given time without spending them, or just having a $5 bill? Of course I realize that it comes down to the fact that it's human nature to resist change (no pun intended). Now I am not calling for the end of the paper $1 bill. What I am saying is production is greatly reduced to the point were coins would have to be used, then the general public might get over whatever phobia we have regarding $1 and a $2 coin. I would think and act of Congress for the duration of the presidental $1 coin should make sense. If they have a law mandating these coins are made, then they should have a law that supports it's introduction into circulation. Otherwise the coins are just a subsidy to copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel producers (composition of the $1 coin) Also I would be interested in what design idea other would like on it.[/QUOTE]
