<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rickmp, post: 1287841, member: 28047&quot;]Most of what the BEP prints are replacement notes, carrying the total cost of printing with no profit. </p><p>Switching from paper dollars, with each lasting 18 months on average, to coins, with each lasting 360 months or more, is extremely cost effective. With a paper dollar costing $0.07 to produce, and needing 18 over the course of 30 years, the paper dollars total cost is $2.10, but one dollar coin, that will last for all of those 30 years, if not more, costs $0.31. A total savings of $1.79 over 30 years. Multiply that by the billions of $1 dollar notes that are printed. That&#039;s not chump change!</p><p><br /></p><p>People will get used to it. They&#039;ve done it in other countries, why would we be different?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
