This is rather unethical and self-serving as even the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has conducted extensive research about replacing dollar bills with dollar coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The GAO has come to the conclusion, as have other entities, that dollar coins are a bust in the long run. This is due in part considering the staggering number of coins that would need to be produced and that in the long run it is considerably more economical to keep dollar bills in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
