<p>[QUOTE=&quot;josh&#039;s coins, post: 1912624, member: 51487&quot;]First let me say that was a good arguement you presented there. You should have been a politician. </p><p>I wanted to address the last paragraph of your argument where you had stated that this change would reduce the number of currency collectors if the $1 bill was dropped resulting in a neutral change. I for one disagree with this completely because there are more currency that people collect than just $1 bills, the majority of currency collectors go after older bills and whatever they receive in change that is worthwhile, most new currency collectors start by finding star notes which can be found in other denominations than the $1 bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I collect $50 bills,$20 star notes, $5 star notes, Errors, confederate currency and gold/silver certificates. I had gotten into currency when I received a $5 star note in my change one day. Now I have 5 $1 star notes,3 $5 star notes, 1 $20 star note etc...</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line: Currency collectors are not limited to the $1 bill so to say that this would reduce the number of currency collectors and increase coin collectors over the change of a $1 bill to a $1 coin would be a false statement. If any change occurs in the collecting world of coins &amp;currency it would be a positive increase on either side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
