<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cashmoney, post: 1048192, member: 28163&quot;]Ok, I think everyone can agree that&nbsp; all the attempts the goverment has made to get the</p><p>public to accept the $1 coin have failed. The only way to do it is to be more forcefull in doing </p><p>so. At the same time you have to acknowledge public sentiment for the paper $1 bill. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I beleive there is a middle ground to make everyone happy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) Using government number, from 2005 - 2009, an average of 3.6 billion dollar bills we produced.</p><p>&nbsp;From 2007 - 2009, an average of 585,816 $1 coins were produced. </p><p>2) A great majority of $1 bills are printed to replace ones that are no longer able to be circulated</p><p>due to wear &amp; tear. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I suspect, but have not seen any numbers, but I&#039;m sure that there are pleny of $1 coins in storage</p><p>that the mint cant get circulated. Congress should pan a law to reduce (not eliminate) $1 bill </p><p>production. Whatever demand there is beyond what is printed would be made up by the coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This way you still have a paper currency bein produced, but the public is forced to also use the </p><p>coins. And remember, the estimates are that the coins save money over the long term. Not to</p><p>mention the fact that the government has already spent money to produce, advertise, and now </p><p>store these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
