[QUOTE="clembo, post: 262986, member: 8033"]Thanks for the responses so far everyone, Seems I'm alone here but that's cool I did start this thread to discuss. For starters, there are currency collectors too. Yeah, I happen to be one of them. That aside should we just change the design of the $1 note every year? Wow, we could do all of the Presidents, they're wives and children! So, let's say we get rid of the lowly $1 note. Would we EVER have to make a $1 coin again? Gotta be billions floating around by now in the hands of "non collectors" that saved them because they "would be worth something some day". Sure, just like circulated Bicentennial quarters. Only about 1.6 BILLION minted and still worth a quarter circulated. Do they "bring people into the hobby"? Yes, for all the wrong reasons. Main one is that people that don't collect get ripped off buying "rare" dollars. See it on ebay and in the coin mags all of the time. Is that how you want to promote the hobby? Hey, I know I'm going all over the board here but it does make it interesting. clembo[/QUOTE]
