<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 723959, member: 19250&quot;]I use coins every day ...every morning I stop in a farm store for coffee @ 1.37 a cup....so do alot of other people and there is always a line out the door..coffee , smokes, gum etc....using the exact change helps the line keep moving. I vote no we should keep our pennies....now I&#039;m going to throw gas on the fire...We should do aways with most commeratives and the dollar bill! Canada done away with the dollar note years ago. most of our dollar coins have ended up in Equador two reasons coins don&#039;t rot in a rain forest as notes do! And the saq. dollar looks alot like most of the people of Equador. It&#039;s a win win for them US $$$.... looks like the natives who live there and they don&#039;t need to mint or print coins. AS Americans we are spoiled....I never like the SBA dollar or Ike for that matter but we are spoiled anything that don&#039;t work for us we want to trash.....Both parites have way too much pork in their bills.....to mint or print money that is not used is a waste of tax dollars.....I will bet you this there are bags in the hunderd of thousands of SBA dollars stocked piled in a vault somewhere that we paid to have minted and now pay to store. Another example of this is about 20 years ago maybe less the goverment gave away blockes of American cheese in 5 lb. loafs......to the poor etc. why because of dairy subsidies..and the fact it cost more to store it in cold storage than to just give it to someone who really could use it. Keep the penny....maybe give Abe a break and lets start a new look for our coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
