[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2064393, member: 66"]It's just another example of an incompetent government working at cross purposes with itself. Back before 2000, other than cities with major mass transit programs, the main way the SBA's got into circulation was from those stamp machines in the post offices. When the Sac dollar was introduced in 2000 the government issued several guidelines to encourage the use of the coin. One of them was for them to be used extensively at the post offices and it was mandated that the machines dispense the dollar coins. At the same time they issued directives phasing out the stamp machines announcing that they would all be gone within three years. Make sure the machines use the coins but get rid of the machines. And all the machines were supposed to be gone in three years, but obviously 15 years later there are still post offices out there that still have them.[/QUOTE]
