Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1255307, member: 112"]I'm not implying anything, I'm saying flat out that the large majority of the American public like using dollar bills and absolutely hate using $1 coins. It has been that way since the mint was founded and it has never changed. There has never in the history of our nation been a $1 coin that readily circulated and was liked by the public. In previous years, the public hated the $1 coins because they were too big. That was why the the small dollar coin was invented back in 1979. Well big surprise, the public still hated the $1 coin. And they still hate them today. Yes, Congress knows this, they always have known it. They have spent millions of dollars doing studies over many different years to confirm it. But yes, just like you say, they do what they want anyway. Yes, they are stupid. And they are stupid because they keep on trying the same thing over and over again. And anybody that is stupid enough to do the very same thing that has failed miserably countless times before is doomed to failure before they even begin. Will they ever change - I doubt it. Because if they announced that the $1 dollar bill was going to be discontinued and that the public would be forced to use the $1 coin, there would be an uproar the likes of which we have never seen by the American public ! And even Congress is not stupid enough to risk that.[/QUOTE]
