<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 992169, member: 22476&quot;]Okay,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This topic has been discussed here and there, but I thought I would bring it up again, just to see if anyone else has heard anything I haven&#039;t heard.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What is EVERYONE&#039;S opinion here on the U.S. $1 denomination? Will we keep the $1 bill, and possibly just redesign it some day? Or is the $1 bill on its way out, in favor of being replaced with the brass bux? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I mean, come on. There are less important or more money saving issues than this that the public would like to decide that the government does NOT let us decide, so why does the government keep on printing $1 bills, instead of just stepping in and saying &quot;Hey, this measure of replacing $1 bills with dollar coins is going to save us hundreds of millions to billions of dollars over the next 5-10 years or so, so say good bye to your $1 bills...oh, and sorry, but for all of you people who think &quot;I&#039;ll just use $2 bills instead&quot; the $2 bill is being replaced with a $2 coin as well&quot; :devil:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really think that a $2 coin should be issued NOW. Let American people get used to both $1 AND $2 coins in rare circulation, then one day, just &quot;pull the plug&quot; on the $1 bill and $2 bill printing presses. :devil:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Having said that, the other issue I always talk about is, why not give the $1 and $2 bills a new look if we are going to keep them around? I mean, the only REAL issue I see with not redesigning the $1 and $2 bills is that, small businesses and vendors do not want to have to pay to upgrade for new $1 bills, and the $2 bill is not redesigned because of so rarely being used. Well, $5 bills circulate almost as much as $1 bills, and yet, THEY have been redesigned, and I have not heard ONE issue about problems with businesses retooling for the new design, so why should a new design $1, and $2 bill be any different? Why not give the $1 and $2 bills fresh new looks and get small businesses to program all machines to accept both new style denominations? I know they do not want to spend their money on that, but why redesign the $5-$100 bills, and keep the cruddy old $1 and $2 bill designs, when the $1 and $2 bills have such high potential when it comes to new designs? The government should be the ones who make the choices for new money. NOT small businesses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sorry about repeating things, but I really wish the government would either change over to $1 and $2 coins, or change the designs of the $1 and $2 bills. Fat chances of either happening though, right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
