<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shreadvector, post: 1377553, member: 34867&quot;]They had a monkeywrench thrown into their machinery by the political stunts pulled in december by the Crane Paper Co backed politicians who are doing everything they can to prevent the end of the $1 rag-dollar. Legislation was introduced in the House to end the rag-dollar and switch to dollar coins. A companion Sentae bill was going to be introduced and so they struck first in December and curtailed normal circulation production of dollar coins and stopped all direct sales and promotional materials. Then, when the Senate went back into session, a Senate bill was introduced.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lobbying in favor of the end of the rag-dollar is ongoing and the independent groups who look to save taxpayer dollars are strongly in favor of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want the coins to be available again ASAP, then go to the Dollar Coin Alliance website and click on the &#039;get involved&#039; link and send off a letter to your Representative and Senators.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" rel="nofollow">http://dollarcoinalliance.org/</a></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><a href="http://tinyurl.com/7nerv6w" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tinyurl.com/7nerv6w" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/7nerv6w</a></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><a href="http://tinyurl.com/7xzhg7b" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tinyurl.com/7xzhg7b" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/7xzhg7b</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you do <b><a href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" rel="nofollow"></a></b>nothing, you will need to pay far above face value plus shipping to get them via &quot;numismatic sales&quot; from the mint.
