Except the people LIKE the paper dollars, which is why we keep using them. The government is supposed to work for us, they should stick with paper. The people don’t really give much of a crap about pennies and nickles. But we use paper dollars, the mint can shove the coins.

The reason we use paper dollars while Canadians can’t is that their government took them out of circulation; the dollar coin was all that was left. If our government wants to get rid of paper dollars they would never leave bank branches again; you would simply receive dollar coins anywhere you had been receiving singles. To their credit, Canada very quickly modified their vending machines, video games and such when they replaced the $1 and $2 bills with coins; I think it went smoothly.

Not me. I would much rather have a combination of $2 bills and $1 coins.
We used to like freedom and liberty also, but then we elected Presidents like Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt; had the fortuitous circumstances for the Left of Lyndon Johnson and Gerald Ford; then we elected a Nixon, and some Bushes.
We finally wound up with a two-term President with the unlikely name of Barack Hussein Obama.
As bizarre as it may seem to lose the $1 bill, it has been even more bizarre to me to realize that the majority of people I circulate among every day are either generationally manipulative, grossly uneducated or mentally ill.
