<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1270104, member: 22476&quot;]I pretty much agree now, that the dollar coin is usless, because the government won&#039;t get rid of the $1 bill, BUT I would NOT say the same about halves. As I said a few times in the past, &quot;If the government really wants to save money, redesign the $1 and $2 bills (They do NOT necessarily have to have security features added, but it would not hurt to add &quot;a few&quot;) get vendors and small businesses to utilize BOTH the $2 bill and the half dollar, AND make U.S. paper money out of polymer like Canada is going to. Then we should get vendors, and businesses to reprogram their machines and adapt to taking new design halves, $1, and $2 bills.&quot; Polymer lasts up to four times longer than our current cotton/linen bills, and most of the currency is redesigned and ALL of it SHOULD be redesigned ($1 and $2 bills included, whether its a huge cost to vendors and small businesses each time around or not) every 7-10 years, those new $1 and $2 bills would have to be taken out of circulation and destroyed before they even get a chance to wear out, and, here is the bonus: Polymer bills can be RECYCLED! Cotton/linen bills can not. So, the government can recycle all of the old design polymer bills of EVERY denomination come every 7-10 years and print their new design on the recycled polymer. And also, they can make the cent out of copper-steel, and the nickel, dime, quarter and half out of nickel-plated steel, but make the plating extra thick so that the coins do not rust right away. Then, as those coins start to wear and rust, they too, can be recycled. And as far as the dollar coin, just scrap the circulation $1 coin and make that coin soley for collector purposes, because that is about all it is good for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
