I remember starting to see signs here in Illinois that had both SAE and metric measures. I remember them starting to teach it in schools. Unfortunately, the Carter administration came and the metric initiative (for lack of a better term) stalled. Now here we are in the 21st century and the only country in the world that still uses the old SAE measures. Chances are that this push to make a US dollar coin will also die the same death simply because we can kill it through indifference and inactivity. I think you can count on the $1 bill for years to come, clembo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
