"People will not accept these coins. Nobody in America wants to use them. As long as they have a paper currency, they will use that."

"Castle says the coins should continue to be produced, but in smaller numbers." "Is the nation waiting with bated breath for us to get to the Calvin Coolidge coin? No! Maybe we should call a halt to this whole thing."[/QUOTE]
