<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1048720, member: 28001&quot;]I thought this thread was about $1 coins.&nbsp; Where did the 1 cent piece come from?&nbsp; I support the $1 coins.&nbsp; They&#039;re barely larger than a quarter.&nbsp; How many times have you emptied your pockets at night and found 4 or more quarters?&nbsp; Did it the weight of those quarters bother you during the day?&nbsp; Some people argue about the weight of 20 or so dollar coins in their pocket.&nbsp; Have you ever had 20 or more $1 bills in your wallet and tried to sit on them for a long time?&nbsp; Very few of us regularly carry 20 ones (coins or bills).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Think about this:&nbsp; Take a $1 coin and a $1 bill both released into circulation at the same time.&nbsp; The coin lasts decades, the bill lasts 6 months.&nbsp; If the coin survived 30 years, the original bill had to be replace 59 times!&nbsp; Makes me wonder why people complain about the cost of making cents and nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
