Just quit printing paper dollars!

Those who want low denomination paper can use $2 Jefferson bills.

[ShadowAce]

I’ll take about half of them off their hands. I’ll even store them myself—at my expense.

[Doctor 2Brains]

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

[MrEdd]

i use dollar coins all the time,

[GeronL]

How about quit making money, period.

[bmwcyle]

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'd be happy to take a few hundred million dollars in US currency.

[EagleUSA]

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.....

[Genoa]

ROTFL about the guy who was cuffed after trying to "pass" a two-dollar bill. But really, it's true. The new dollar coins won't get used as long as the paper is still circulating. In the U.K. the smallest paper is a five pound note.

[Osage Orange]

Tell ya what....I’ll give the Fed’s 10 cents on the dollar..for all of them.

[muawiyah]

This is simply NPR Leftwingtard propaganda.

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.

Leslie Paige, who represents watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste, says the government should withdraw the dollar bill from the market and force Americans to use the coins. "I think Americans will definitely embrace the dollar coin if they're just given the opportunity," she says

Force people to use them and say something like that. jeez.

If people don't want them, then so what? Let the market decide.

[Brookhaven]

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.

[Cowboy Bob]

Here's a hint:

1. Quit minting Feminist coins. Mint Reagan Dollars instead!

2. Stop prinitng paper dollars.

Problem solved!

"It was easier for the bill's sponsor, then-Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE), to move the presidential coin bill forward if it didn't displace other dollar coins honoring Sacagawea, the teenage Native American guide to Lewis and Clark. The deal: The mint would be required to make a quota of Sacagawea coins. Currently, the law says 20 percent of dollar coins made must have Sacagawea on them...Through the bags, one could see Sacagawea mingling with Suffragette Susan B. Anthony and rubbing edges with some of America's early chief executives."

LOL!

[Red Badger]

I’ll take them, and gladly inject them immediately into the economy...............

[yawningotter]

I use those coins, and two dollar bills, quite frequently. I swap out all of them I can find where I work and spend them at Wal Mart. Many of the cashiers don’t know what to make of them at first.

[B.O. Plenty]

DART uses these for change...heh heh..

.if you are unfortunate enough to only have a 20 and buy a one way ticket, out comes 18 of these things for change...after a while, the dollar coins feel like they weigh a pound apiece....
