<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cj415, post: 1254870, member: 30598&quot;]I once headr a stat that Federal Reserve Notes circulate for an average of 18 months before being destroyed, and coins can circulate an average of 30 years before they need to be destroyed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it&#039;s finally time that the $1 bill be discontinued like it has in so many other Western countries. Then the demand for $1 coins would pick up, and in theory, the cost of minting coins would pay off in the long run since they would last longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, as collectors, it would mean that coins would wear out, and that would mean that in 10 years from now, presidential coins would grade from Fine to MS (whereas now, almost all of them are in MS state). It&#039;s much more interesting to collect coins when there is a wide spread of grades out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
