<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill H., post: 4560948, member: 85881&quot;]As has been said many, many times, the reason dollar coins do not circulate is because of the continued printing of the one dollar note. Given the choice, Americans will do what they&#039;re accustomed to do which is use the dollar note for daily transactions. Additionally, it appears, the paper manufacturer, Crane Paper Company in Boston, the paper supplier for the treasury has a more powerful lobby than the copper and zinc and nickel mining lobby. Canada made the switch 33 years ago from $1 paper notes to dollar coins without too much problem. This switch would actually save the U.S. taxpaer millions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
