<p>[QUOTE="C Jay, post: 373143, member: 13184"]Here's an idea, re-value the paper currency. Think in terms of a new $1 Hamiltons, $2 Jacksons, $5 Grants, and a $10 Franklins. I remember when you could get a coke out of a vending machine for a nickle or a dime. Inflation has made coins more and more expensive to produce and we've gone from 90% silver to 40% silver to zinc clad to what steel clad next. I can see the 2050 plastic clad nickle. It's a paper problem, not a penny problem. MHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
