Not a rumor at all. The bill supported by McCain would eliminate the paper buck and shift production to the dollar coins. "The legislation calls for the Federal Reserve System to sequester all Anthony dollars within six months of the date of enactment of the act, and to release them at face value and in bulk quantities to dealers in collectible coins and to countries that have adopted the U.S. dollar as their base unit of exchange. One year after the enactment of the act, these dollars would be declared and treated as obsolete U.S. coins, although they would remain legal tender." And yes I see the Coin World Article was published in 2012. My Bad. http://www.coinworld.com/numismatic...ess-ponders-more-dollar-coin-versus-note.html
(D) Obsolete coins At the end of the 1-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall declare all coins described under subparagraph (A) to be obsolete, and such coins— (i) shall be treated in the same manner as all other obsolete United States coins; and (ii) to the extent that such coins remain in general circulation, shall remain legal tender. ~~~ soo according to this if it is in circulation it can stay in circulation
Sure, there may have been a bill. But there is absolutely zero chance of it happening. So the fact that it is happening would be a rumor.
Depends upon what you are referring to as the "rumor". The question was: "A fellow collector friend of mine recently informed me of an article he saw (I think in Coin World) about the US Goverment planning on (or thinking about) recalling all of the SBA's in circulation." And that article actually exists, the bill existed or exists, so that is not a rumor. Actively pulling SBA at this point in time could be considered a rumor.
I'm being facetious. She destroyed other peoples' property in the name of her psycho cause. She wrote in her journal that she would make drinkers as miserable as her drunkard husband made her.
