<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 219022, member: 4626&quot;]At least they&#039;re doing something to make modern coinage more interesting.&nbsp; All the other denominations besides the nickel and the state quarters have designs that have remained unchanged since before I was born.&nbsp; Come up with more new things!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for having an actual circulating 1 dollar coin, that&#039;s never really going to happen unless they forecfully get rid of the 1 dollar bill.&nbsp; As long as people have the choice, they&#039;ll always prefer a $1 bill over a $1 coin, out of habit if nothing else.&nbsp; Getting rid of the $1 bill in favor of a $1 coin would save the government millions of dollars, but too many legislators shy away from any resistance on this issue to actually get it passed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The stupidity is not in minting a $1 coin.&nbsp; The stupidity is minting a $1 coin <b>AND</b> a $1 bill.&nbsp; If they really want a $1 coin to circulate, get rid of the bill![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
