I have gotten FRB bundles of circulated Twos that are obviously using the new equipment as they are a mix of face directions. The quality of some is hideous, but as someone who knows science i also know that I do not have a big enough sample over a long enough time to make any valid conclusion. I will continue to observe and I will see.&nbsp; The biggest users of ones will see results first and those are unsually big businesses that have bundles of ones delivered. Again, this will evolve over time as we move to 50 months.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin delivery will vary. At banks, they pay for a truck delivery and it does not matter what is on the truck. They only pay more to have a special/additional armored car delivery outside of their normally scheduled delivery. Businesses probably do the same thing, but they do indeed pay some fee for the coins and currency they order - based on the number of boxes or bundles. They also recycle coins within businesses. I talked at length with a coworker (who took calculus from Jaime Escalante) who worked at Home Depot in the cash room while working through school. She told me they had machines to sort, count and roll the coins so they could re-use them. They used the rolled coin to redistribute to cash registers as needed and during set-up at the beginning of a shft. The only coins they had to order were to replace any difference between what came in and what went out. In an economy that has no dollar bill, people will actually USE the dollar coin for transactions and businesses will not have to order many. Since I am not involved in the transportation of coins or bills commercially, I have no data on the fuel costs. As a science and fact based person and as someone very familiar with cargo aircraft, I would ask &quot;what is the weight of the unloaded armored car and what is it&#039;s cargo capacity in weight and will dollar coins really affect the overall gross weight by any significant percentage?&quot; And will that exceed $140,000,000.00 ???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
