<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 724249, member: 19250&quot;]Waste is waste no matter what.....be nice if one branch of the goverment could give back to the treasure instead of taking their budgets to the max! Sorry if I have over stated my views on this thread it was not my intention to do so. but the way I see it right now we only use 4 coins the penny , nickel , dime and quarter....try to find 1/2&#039;s at your bank or even dollar coins...most banks don&#039;t order them as there is no demand for them except by us collectors. In closing Ilike to say just one more thought....we are going in the direction of being paperless....direct deposits ,debit cards, credit cards etc......I feel sorry for the next generation not being able to hold a dollar or any paper / or minted currency in their hands. The item they worked so hard for will now be a number on a computer screen or statement. I remember my dad each week with his earnings sitting down at the kitchen table with the brown envelopes and a stack of fresh $1 bills. putting aways for the family bills so much in each envelope. Then paying the milk man ,the insurance man, the mortage....it was a simpler time....and a DOLLAR was a dollar! And a nickel to a kid on a summer afternoon was an cold snowball or single dip of ice cream on a cone. And yes we did bend over to pick up a penny as that penny would buy a piece of candy. And for the record I still do...and not ashamed of doing so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
