I just can not figure out why so many think that our government is concerned about saving money on the production of coins. Even if they stopped all production of all coins, where would the money go from no more coins. If they stopped all coin production for, say 10 years, they would save billions of dollars and where would it all go? Just how many people continue to think that if the government saved a few million on no more cents anything would change? Any such savings would simply go for a bigger desk for some politicians. Maybe a few more Gold Pens. </p><p>Many years ago in Illinois the government said if we have a state lottery once a week the proceeds would pay for the school system.
