We&#039;ve had the Ikes, Suzy Bs, Sacagamamas and now dead Presidents yet the lowly dollar &quot;bill&quot; gets used every day by millions. The only way the $1 note will disappear is if the laws are passed to stop production of them. It has worked in other countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s painful for me to say as a currency collector but it&#039;s the truth. Untill the $1 note is gone this country WILL have a gazillion dollar coins sitting in vaults collecting dust. This pretty much happened with Morgan dollars. Why do you think there are so many BU examples still around?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
