<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 4235943, member: 74863&quot;]When I was in charge of a post office we had a stamp machine in the building. In order to get people to use dollar coins a bill was passed at the federal level requiring that stamp machines both accept and dispense dollar coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone care to guess what happened? I&#039;ll tell you. In my office and all across the nation, the cost of converting those machines to accept and dispense the dollar coins was over $5000 a machine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nine banks in the small city where my office was located. Not a single bank was interested in the dollar coins. Ordering, storing and counting them was out of the question. As a result, the post office had my machine and many more across the nation removed from service. </p><p><br /></p><p>To this day I am convinced that those dollar coins are still in storage in some government warehouse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
