Whenever they would suggest this in the past, Ted Kennedy would get up and promise a fillibuster. Crane and co. the ones who manufacture the cotton paper for all the currency is based in MA.
Right after he died, one of the first things I thought was “There goes the dollar bill.”
I fully support getting rid of dollar bills. They’re filthy, disgusting, disease carriers. Ever get the ones the banks have fumigated and perfumed? Awful. They only last a matter of months before they’re shredded, and dumped into landfills.
