[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 954481, member: 26030"]CNBC has been running a story all day that there is "talk" of getting rid of the paper dollar and replace it with the dollar coin. Apparently it will save the U.S. millions/billions because although the coins are slightly more expensive to produce, they last 30 years vs. 18 months for the paper dollar I wouldn't mind this change so much if they actually produced a dollar coin that was attractive. Maybe bring back the old Peace Dollar design but in a smaller Susan B Anthony dollar size. I hate the design of the Presidential Dollars. I didnt mind the Saga Dollar coin before they messed with the reverse and starting putting the date on the edge. I guess the bad thing about this idea ... is paper dollars are a lot lighter to carry around than a bunch of coins.[/QUOTE]
