<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vegasvic, post: 432254, member: 15296&quot;]I would design a $2 coin (ending the minting of the hated $1 coins and cease production of $1 bills).&nbsp; $1 will not buy anything.&nbsp; Making it a size somewhere between a quarter and half dollar to try to end the confusion.&nbsp; I would put Ronald Reagan on it (in spite of personal opinions he remains extremely popular and fresh in most adults memory).&nbsp; On the Reverse I would put a much better engraving of Mount Rushmore than was on the South Dakota State Quarter.&nbsp; Similar to the 1991 Prestige Set engraving, perhaps the same engraving.&nbsp; </p><p>By eliminating the $1 bill and coin at the same time, it would force people to use the $2 coin.&nbsp; The maximum number in their pockets would be two before getting a $5 bill and keeping them fairly small should help quiet the complainers.</p><p>Since the Presidential $1 Coin is mandated by law as well as the Sacagawea, I would make them available in mint and proof sets only.&nbsp; If the law had to be modified so be it.</p><p>And for anyone who doesn&#039;t like my $2 coin idea, we could always introduce a 99 cent coin, because stores always sell their items on sale in prices ending in .99.&nbsp; What&#039;s that you say?&nbsp; Sales tax?&nbsp; Oh well, back to the drawing board!</p><p>Vegas Vic[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
