<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 10902, member: 487"]The odds of removing the cent are very slim. The odds of removing the dollar bill, that may work. There is new legislation each and every year to remove the dollar bill. The same process is used. The gov. calls 1000 people and asks them if they want the dollar bill eliminated. All of course say no. We are a country full of scared people. Most see everything as the sky is falling. If we eliminate the dollar bill, the public will have to carry 20 dollar coins. We all know this is a crock. If we eliminate the cent, all retailers will round up. They already do that. Nothing new. Everything is already price at .95 or .99 No way to round down from there. </p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you that want change, in any form, do you call or email your elected leaders? Do you take the fight to them? </p><p><br /></p><p>We as Americans have a bad habit of standing back and letting others make our decisions for us, and then complain about it.
