<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 136085, member: 2761&quot;]Keep the cent, dump the paper dollar bill!&nbsp; It cost US Taxpayers over $500 million per year to produce these dollar bills that last only around 16 months in circulation.&nbsp; What does a dollar coin&nbsp; last?&nbsp; 30, 40 , 50 years easily??&nbsp; If the mint wants to save money, they can start right here!</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were the treasury, I would team up with banks, post offices, etc. and encourage (advertise) all to bring in all of this loose change sitting in jars and dresser drawers so these coins GET BACK into circulation.&nbsp; Put &quot;Coinstar&quot; type machines everywhere!&nbsp; There is absolutely NO reason why we need to mint 5 billion plus cents per year when there are BILLIONS upon BILLIONS more being hoarded with the rest of our loose change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
