<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 19100, member: 824&quot;]I like the SAC&#039;s size and color...however, any success with a dollar coin is pretty much going to be a failure as long as the government spends over $500 million per year printing dollar bills.&nbsp; Of course the life of the average dollar bill lasts around 16 months whereas your average dollar coin would last at least 50 years.&nbsp; But then again, that makes too much sense so we might as well spend our tax dollars on the paper $1 dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>We discussed this previously and unfortunately, it looks like the mint is going to come out with 4 differant Presidential coins per year.&nbsp; That means everybody from Millard Fillmore to Bill Clinton will soon grace our dollar coins...which will fail like the IKE, SBA, and SAC dollar coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t have both the $1 paper dollar and the dollar coin.&nbsp; Even though dollar coins would be great for vending machines (which constantly spit wrinkled dollar bills back at yours truly) and save tax payers at over $500 million per year...your average American wouldn&#039;t get it.&nbsp; Hell, the goverment spent $20 million just educating the public about changes to the $20 bill!&nbsp; A dollar coin with no paper will be a revolt in the streets!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not suggesting we change all bills.&nbsp; Just the $1 bill and replace it with this past suggested design...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/2000ml.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/2000ml.html" rel="nofollow">http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/2000ml.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
