I’ll take about half of them off their hands. I’ll even store them myself—at my expense.
Okay, dammit! I’ll take ‘em. Gotta do my patriotic bit, you know.
I worked at the Fed when they released the Sasquachaweeha (”Who REALLY saved Louis and Clarke while carrying a baby on her back!”) dollar coins. We had first dibs. I bought ten. No one I knew wanted them. They have since turned a nasty corroded green splochiness. No one wants them now. I may have to go to Nevada to get rid of them. BTW, whatever happened to the Susan B. Octagon dollar coins? The ones that jammed every 25 cent vending machine slot in the United States? Maybe they’re in another vault building...
Except at Best Buy. Man arrested, cuffed after using $2 bills
i use dollar coins all the time,
How about quit making money, period.
I love dollar coins. Give them to me.
Hire a paymaster. Transfer the funds to the Treasury. Have each member of Congress report in person each Friday at 4:30 pm to collect their pay.
I have a theory about why folks don’t use dollar coins. They’re close to the size of a quarter and it reminds everyone of how much the dollar has been devalued in their lifetimes.
If they were minted the size of the old cartwheels, it might work.
Save them just in case America is foolish enough to re-elect Obama. They will have collector value as token reminders of an ancient currency that once existed on the earth, called the American Dollar.....
I loved those as a kid. I had a paper route which I collected for myself. The rate was 75 cents per week and sometimes customers would give me one instead of a quarter. About once every other week I would find one in my bag and that meant I made an extra 75¢ profit from some customer. If I saw it before I put the money in my bag I was honest enough to fix the problem, but those things did look just like quarters so I often didn't notice.
Tell ya what....I’ll give the Fed’s 10 cents on the dollar..for all of them.
People who work real jobs in real factories, real offices, real places of employment KNOW intimately what those coins are for ~ that's how you get lunch or a snack or a soft drink without leaving work, driving half an hour to a restaurant, and then coming back late.
Automated vending equipment supplies billions of dollars worth of food and sustenance to tens of millions of American working men and women every day.
The Leftwingtards running NPR wouldn't recognize them if they ran over them with their Ferraris.
Force people to use them and say something like that. jeez.
If people don't want them, then so what? Let the market decide.
Unless they quit printing 1$ bills, there will never be a demand for 1$ coins.
Can anyone name the biggest obstacle to the introduction of 1$ coins and $2 bills?
Cash registers. They aren’t setup to handle the additional coins and bills. They trays are designed for a standard set of bills. Anything else blows the system out of the water. Businesses don’t request dollar coins or 2 dollar bills from their bank, because they don’t have anyplace to put them in their cash registers.
Funny story I heard Neil Boortz tell years ago. He got a stack of new 2$ bills and put gum rubber on the side, and made them into a “pad” of bills. Then he’d go into a business and peel 2$ bills off the pad and hand them to the cashier.
Made a nice sound on the bar back when a dollar went a little futhur(sic).
1. Quit minting Feminist coins. Mint Reagan Dollars instead!
2. Stop prinitng paper dollars.
Problem solved!
