<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1385888, member: 22476&quot;]Already did that with BOTH Senators, and House member, and all I got was one form letter from one Seanator, which proves its just as useless as my letters on $500 bills.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><a href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dollarcoinalliance.org/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #606420">http://dollarcoinalliance.org/</span></a></font></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/7nerv6w" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tinyurl.com/7nerv6w" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/7nerv6w</a></font></span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/7xzhg7b" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tinyurl.com/7xzhg7b" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/7xzhg7b</a></font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">I would rather have a $2 coin than a $5 coin if you ask me.</font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">&nbsp;</font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">This would be a stupid idea.

I already said what could be the perfect idea for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And they will *NEVER* get rid of the $1 bill in favor of the dollar coin unless people start using them. What can we do, besides using them ourselves? I mean, every time I use halves, dollar coins or $2 bills, I always ask &quot;Are you going to give those out in change?&quot; and their response is always, &quot;No, we just turn them in at the bank for &quot;regular&quot; money&quot; So, are we fighting a futile battle? I mean, have YOU had anyone hand out your golden dollars and $2 bills as change that you say to spend so many of? Even my 7 Eleven buddy does not hand the coins or $2 bills back out in change much, because some people complain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and, sorry to break the news Fred, but if you have been reading the paper money forum, you will see that the Treasury IS redesigning the $2 bill with the next currency redesign, even though you do not want it to happen. So the vending and self checkout industry will have to update their machines to take the new $2 bills, which is why I suggested to the Treasury, BEP and vending industry, that they should try to get the redesigned $2 bills issued at the same time as the time they issue the new $5 bill, so that they can reprogram their machines to accept BOTH denominations at once, thus making even certain vending machines that did not even take the old $2 bill, take the new $2 bill design, so this could be a plus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look Fred, I am sorry if I made you mad, but can we please call a truce and try to work together, and THEN maybe there will be a chance to get rid of $1 bills, seeing as, the more dollar coin supporters, the better? If you can prove to me, that the dollar coin is going to replace the $1 bill any time soon, I promise you, I will try to order and spend as many dollar coins and $2 bills as I can, and H:devil:ll, I will even give you my address so that you can send me the Golden Dollar promotional stamp, and I will stamp ALL of my paper money I spend, with that stamp. But if its not too much to ask, please spend a few halves for me in return, here and there. You do not have to, but if you still want to send me one of those stamps, please let me know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
