<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Douglas, post: 4368, member: 617&quot;]I saw that in today&#039;s Chicago Tribune also, here&#039;s what I think. The State Quarters program has brought in many new collectors and has renewed interest in not so new collectors like myself. This is good, but we use quarters everyday in just about every transaction. We do not use half-dollars, why? because sales clerks can not count change, if the cash register doesn&#039;t do the calc for them, they&#039;re lost. Therefore, stores don&#039;t even stock halfs in the cash registers. So how are we ever going to use a $1 coin? Like the article says, we need to get rid of the dollar bill. Our last two examples of dollar coins were failures because of this and I think they are failures as collectibles as well. A coin has to be in everyday use, doesn&#039;t matter whose face is on it or what color it is or what size it is. I&#039;d like to do away with the penny as well, the most hoarded coin in America. I betcha I have about fifty pounds of them myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
