Message:: [QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 956076, member: 22476"]Hey, I'm curious to know who on these forums, thinks we should have a $2 coin in the U.S. I also wanted to ask the question, is it worth the efforts to lobby for a U.S. $2 coin, even if the government does not phase out the paper $2 bill?  Maybe they should try phasing out the $2 bill, which almost no one really uses, first, and see their reactions to no more paper $2s, then if the reaction is not so bad, maybe they could work on phasing out the paper $1 bill as well. :hail: So, should I lobby and write letters to Congress, the Mint, the Bureua of Engraving & Printing and the Treasury, and see what they think? Is it worth it? And how would I lobby to get the government to phase out $1 and $2 bills for coins? I know that there are other lobbyists WAY more powerful than me, that are trying to get $1 bills phased out, such as the vending industry, but I just thought that maybe I could add some fuel to the fire. :devil: I'm obviously not going to get redesigned $1 and $2 bills, nor new halves and get halves to circulate once more. However, if we Americans ever get a $2 coin, and vending and self checkout companies have to upgrade the way they build their coin acceptors and dispensers to accept and dispense $2 coins as needed, would that be a good time to write letters to, or call these industries and say "Hey, look. You are completely redesigning your machines's design to accept and dispense $2 coins, so, could you please also modify the macines's design to accept and dispense halves as well?" I don't think it would be that big of a deal to add one more coin to the machines's acceptors and dispensers if they are redesigning the desgn to take one new coin.[/QUOTE]
