<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1322864, member: 22476&quot;]Well, then what the H:devil:ll was his point of &quot;thanking&quot; you, for your views? He thanks you for your support of the dollar coin, yet he tells you he is going to protect the $1 bill? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think I am going to write to my Congressmen (*again*) and tell them to introduce legislation to redesign the $1 and $2 bills, and the half dollar, like I said for a yellow tinted colorized, big head $1 bill with a darker yellow $ sign to the right of George Washington, and a complete redesign of the back with a low-vision numeral and to basically conform the $5 and up, and you know the drill for the $2 bill and the half, but for those of you who don&#039;t, a bluish-green tinted big head $2 bill with an opened scroll representing the Declaration of Independence to the right of Thomas Jefferson and a low-vision numeral on the back. And for the half, a redesign to a smaller (between nickel and quarter size) , thicker, nonagon shaped, possibly copper colored coin, and have Congress and the Treasury push THESE denominations, instead of that wasteful dollar coin. Since we don&#039;t have $2 coins or $0.50 bills, lets embrace our $2 bills and half dollar coins. And replace the current cotton/linen paper in our paper money with polymer plastic banknotes. THAT will cut down on any &quot;need&quot; to replace the $1 bill witha dollar coin any time soon. And also, I heard that Crane &amp; Co. who manufactures our currency paper was checking into making the switch from manufacturing our cotton/linen paper, to manufaturing polymer plastic for our FRNs, but that was in the mid 1990s, when I talked to the Coin Coalition. So anyway, the fact is, Crane &amp; Co. would not lose out much, if they made polymer sheets for our &quot;paper&quot; money. Then somehow get vendors and self checkout companies to adapt to new design $1 and $2 bills and halves. As soon as they are a part of our lives for a few months, they would be embraced better than a dollar coin. People would like new $2s so that they would not clog their wallets up with so many $1s, and seniors would like the smaller half that would weigh less than even ONE quarter, let alone, TWO quarters, so I think they would be a big hit after a few months of moanin&#039; groanin&#039; and hoardin&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
