<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1396258, member: 5233&quot;]What difference does the 18 vs. 50 month survival time matter...it&#039;s still far less than a coin.&nbsp; You have said nothing in this thread that has any proof to your claim that switching to the coin will yield a net loss to tax payers.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe you have because I don&#039;t believe the evidence exists.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with the dollar coin is that people simply don&#039;t want to use them.&nbsp; The only way they would become well used is if the dollar bill was discontinued and law makers won&#039;t do that.&nbsp; The public won&#039;t like it and they won&#039;t get reelected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dollar coins are simply less convenient that bills, I think most people would agree with that...and it&#039;s certainly how I feel.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like using the coin even though I believe it is better for the economy.&nbsp; I also believe that we will continue to produce the bill and make occasional attempts to circulate a coin for the foreseeable future.&nbsp; Frankly, this issue will probably never be solved but it is self limiting.&nbsp; Everyday the world becomes more and more electronic and I think that in my lifetime physical money will be obsolete.&nbsp; That and only that will finally solve this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
