<p>[QUOTE=&quot;v8americanpower, post: 12909, member: 1123&quot;]I enjoy the US $1 coin except for it&#039;s rediculous choice of a person to depict on it.&nbsp; Sacagawea was chosen so that the US mint could put both a woman AND a minority on 1 coin and make them both happy.&nbsp; Two birds with one stone eh?&nbsp; Sure she helped lead Lewis and Clark accross the Louisiana Territory, so then why not put Lewis and Clark on the coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Being as I live right by the US/Canada border and hop over to abuse the 19 year drinking age, I deal with dollar coins all the time.&nbsp; A canuck explained to me how he wasnt to fond of the dollar coins when they first came out, it&#039;s just that he and the rest of Canada weren&#039;t given any other choice.&nbsp; Paper dollars were revocked at the same time dollar coins were put into mass production.&nbsp; He said he has since gotten used to not having paper bills but he still complains about how it sucks for men because we dont carry around change purses (if some of you guys do, hey, that&#039;s your perogitive).&nbsp; </p><p>I on the other hand find the biggest drawback in the strip clubs over there.&nbsp; What are you supposed to do in canada?&nbsp; Cant slipp a Loonie ($1 dollar coin) or a twosie ($2 dollar coin) in a strippers G-string) and unless you really wanna go broke quick, your smallest denomination is a $5 bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>So while I appriciate the economic point of view on the dollar coin,&nbsp; just imagine the alternative:&nbsp; walking into a Strip club with a fannie pack full of coins to throw at a stripper and hope to god you dont take out one of her eyes....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
