Susan B. Anthony buck reminds me of The Obammunist Government Motors Volt.

I remember the new stamp machines in every post office. It made change for up to a $20 bill. Change was in SBA bucks.

Now our P.O. doesn't even have a stamp machine. And no one uses the dollar that was the size of a quarter.

They are still in circulation, as well as the “squawbuck” and rather cheap looking coins with presidents on them.

There are vending machines that take $5 dollar bills and give change in dollar coins.

I had forgotten about that. I went into the main post office here to mail some packages and formerly, there was a computerized scale with a keypad, etc, buy and print your own labels, stick them on, and you're done. Now you have to print them at home or stand in line.

At another post office here in town a couple of weeks ago, for about a 5 minute period there were 19 customers in line and one clerk.

Of all the thousands of these SAB coins I have seen, I’ve yet to see her smile. What’s her problem anyway?
