<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1912540, member: 5233&quot;]Like I said, in my post...&quot;The only way it will become accepted is if they drop the dollar note and they don&#039;t seem willing to do that.&quot;&nbsp; I agree that a dollar coin is a better option than the note...but the population is not going to accept it unless the note is dropped.&nbsp; There clearly has been no effort to do so.&nbsp; If that is the case, then my belief is we should stop wasting money on the coin.&nbsp; If we decide to actually do it properly (by getting rid of the note)...then it would work.&nbsp; Until then, the coin is a waste of money and resources IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for seat belts, smoking, recycling, ect...many of those things were legally mandated.&nbsp; Seat belts became required by law and the Surgeon Generals Warning became legally required.&nbsp; With recycling...people got deposits back (that&#039;s not a law, but it&#039;s an incentive).&nbsp; There was a general &quot;legal&quot; incentive.&nbsp; That is not happening with the coin and when people don&#039;t have a reason to do something...they don&#039;t.&nbsp; If they didn&#039;t have a choice, there would be complaining for a while...but eventually it would get accepted.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for increasing the number of new coin collectors...I don&#039;t care in this sense because it would also reduce the number of new currency collectors which is another hobby I also enjoy.&nbsp; So, in that respect...I see that as a neutral change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
