<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 169067, member: 669&quot;]In another thread there was a comment about the need to kill the $1 bill if $1 coins are ever to be successful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether you agree or disagree, it&#039;s not fair to blame the Mint for something it has no control over.&nbsp; The Bureau of Printing and Engraving, not the Mint, produces paper currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>Survey or no survey, good sense or stupidity, when the majority of the House of Representatives and the Senate approve a law, and the President signs it, all government agencies are bound to obey. <ul> <li>The BEP <b>cannot</b> stop printing $1 bills.&nbsp; Congress tells them what to print, and in the law authorizing the Deadprez series, it is directly ordered that the paper dollar must continue being printed.</li> <li>The Mint can&#039;t stop produciing Sacs during the Deadprez series because the same law directly orders the minting of one Sac for each two Deadprez coins.</li> </ul><p></p><p>Since the law says the program stops when the list of presidents who have been dead for at least two years is exhausted, the exact date of the final coin depends on when Ford, Clinton, the two Bushes, and whoever succeeds Dubbya, die.&nbsp; The probability is that Ford will get a coin, as his chances of living to 103 or so are pretty slim.&nbsp; All of the others are young and healthy enough that they may still be alive&nbsp; two years before Ford&#039;s coin is made, which means the Ford coin will end the series (as the law is currently written.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
