<p>[QUOTE="johndo, post: 236586, member: 4534"]I've spent several hundred dollars worth mostly at convienent stores and yard sales knowing that at the YS's they would keep them, but at the C-stores they have told me they just deposit with the daily receipts (they hated them) I have NEVER gotten one back in circulation unless I've asked for them. So the way I see it it's just another ploy to make tons and tons of coins that won't do much, I guess the mint is no different than any other big business, to keep there budget up they have to show that they can and have a need to spend the money....Just came to me if the average family tries to save 1 P and 1 D roll of each coin plus maybe 1 extra, per child, that's atleast three rolls or $75.00 for ea. Prez.per child, I don't have census stats but there is a boatload of youngins out the (personally I can account for two) so I'm going to give it a shot and say 150 million children under the age of 18 so using these numbers that works out to over 11 billion dollars taken out of circulation, 11 billion x's the number of president coins...getting a headache it's lots of zeros though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> imo</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
