<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlmummert, post: 806322, member: 21178&quot;]Ok.&nbsp; Point taken.&nbsp; So we don&#039;t have the dollar coins sitting around ready to replace all the $1 notes out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>But WHY are we still printing new $1 notes with no plans to stop while we keep saying $1 coins are better because they last far longer, etc?&nbsp; My solution would be to establish a &quot;drop-dead&quot; date in the future where we would discontinue the printing of new $1 notes.&nbsp; That would give the Treasury time to plan winding down printing $1 notes and printing of additional $2 notes as needed and give the US Mint time to mint additional $1 coins.&nbsp; Once the drop-dead date comes, then stop printing $1 notes.&nbsp; As the notes wear out, withdraw them from circulation and replace them with coins.&nbsp; If the notes are not worn out, then reissue them as per current practice.&nbsp; Eventually most of the notes will be withdrawn either by the government and/or collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we can have ebay auctions with $1 notes that look like they went through the washing machine 20 times on sale for $300 each.:hammer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
