[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2195901, member: 15929"]Huh? The public LOVES dollar coins. I've yet to see an unhappy face when I leave them as tips or use them to pay my grocery bill. It's "business" that "hates" the dollar coin because "business" would rather not pay the extra costs associated with transitioning to a dollar coin which would include shipping, handling, storage, and retraining the youth of today to actually recognize what a coin is and how to count back change since public schools no longer teach this stuff. As long as there is a dollar bill to be ordered, the dollar coin will simply languish in Federal Reserve Vaults (i.e. not government vaults) with the Federal Reserve Bank picking up costs associated with the storage of the coins. The "mistake" made by our 535 individual "Kings" is in believing that "business" will accept an alternative method of paying out change when the fact of the matter is that the Federal Reserve Note should have been discontinued when the dollar coin was issued. People AND "business" will ALWAYS choose the easiest route for accomplishing a goal. The business route is to NOT order dollar coins but continue with the FRN's. The peoples route is to simply accept what's given to them in change and as long as it can be spent, they're happy![/QUOTE]
