<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1395378, member: 2098&quot;]You will have no trouble continuing to be able to buy them. They will be on ebay, at select banks and dollar coins will still be minted for the collector market. You will be able to buy these through the Mint itself if you want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dollar coins will yield in a net-loss for the taxpayers should the dollar bill ever stop being produced. Doing so would add millions to the national debt and deficit. Don&#039;t believe the rhetoric that they will save the government money. 99.5% of the supporters for eliminating the dollar bill have ties to the mining industry in some form or another. The other 0.5% are ignorant and are against freedom of choice. Dollar coin enthusiasts can still buy and use dollar coins if they want to. What these activists want to do is take away your ability and choice to be able to continue to use dollar bills. This is a complete double standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, the cost of shipping dollar coins is in itself very expensive. Coins are heavy. Banks often pay $7.50-$10+ per box of coins for their vaults. If you were involved in the transportation of coins and currency which would cost more in fuel? A $1,000 box of dollar coins or a $1,000 bag of 10 straps of $1 notes? I rest my case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
