<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 479574, member: 66&quot;]Don&#039;t blame the banks.&nbsp; Are YOU asking for them every time you go to the bank?&nbsp; Are you refusing the paper money they try to give you and asking for dollar coins instead?&nbsp; Well for the most part no one else is either.&nbsp; And since no one is asking for them, you would be surprised at the number of people who still don&#039;t know they exist, the banks aren&#039;t ordering them.&nbsp; (And remember the banks have to pay shipping charges on coins so every time they order them they are losing money.&nbsp; And losing more if they have to ship them back.&nbsp; And losing still more if they are just sitting in the vault as a dead item.&nbsp; Is it any wonder they don&#039;t want to fool with them?)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And once again you are back to the answer to the problem.&nbsp; People tend to function by habit and they will resist an attempt to change their habits.&nbsp; Using paper money is a habit and the general public will not change that habit unless forced to do so.&nbsp; That force is to eliminate the dollar note.&nbsp; If they can&#039;t get it they will HAVE to change their habits and it will be to use the dollar coin and to increase the use of the two dollar bill.&nbsp; (And the increase in the demand for the two will tend to keep the orders for paper up at Craine and to greatly lessen the number of jobs lost by eliminating the dollar bill.&nbsp; All the hardship to the company and job loss claims&nbsp; made by those opposed to eliminating the dollar bill don&#039;t hold water.)&nbsp; The number of twos used will increase because people WOULD rather use paper, and it also would mean that you would never have to accept more then one dollar coin in change.&nbsp; This greatly lessens the argument against having to carry around a pocket full of dollar coins.&nbsp; Either spend them or if you have more than one, swap it for a two.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it all still comes down to having to eliminate the dollar bill before the dollar coin will work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
