<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 2116111, member: 11854&quot;]Another dollar coin without the withdrawal of at least the one dollar bill would of course be a fiasco that any clear-thinking person could see, which is of course why we might have to relive our long national nightmare.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are two points I would like to make.&nbsp; The first is that I doubt it is the merchants who are stopping the success of a dollar coin in the current economy.&nbsp; As a consumer I rarely use cash, and when I do I would absolutely refuse a dollar coin given instead of a dollar bill.&nbsp; Secondly, those who point to the British pound as a success have a good point, but the counterfeit rate on those is something like 3% (official estimate) to 6% (industry estimate) and that means an awful lot of fake coinage is going to be floating around.&nbsp; I do not know how these numbers relate to fake one dollar (or one pound) notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
