Yeah, I wonder if it ever occurred to them that featuring FEMINISTS on the dollar coins was a sucky idea. Idiots.
why not?...we'll just call it the new quarter...as they phase out the penny and the nickel.
I hate the dollar coins. They're heavy and a pain to carry around. I'll stick with dollar bills, thank you.
My, what a shocker.
" I hate the dollar coins. They're heavy and a pain to carry around. I'll stick with dollar bills, thank you. "
I thought we were supposed to be a "cashless society" by now..
You know -- everything done by computer so that all of the Big Brothers, governmental and corporate, could know everything about everything we think, say, and do.....
Sounds like something we need to do, but there sure as hell better not be a Clinton coin. Or a Bush coin for that matter. Is there going to be a Nixon coin?
Why not honor our fallen soldiers with a coin instead of continuing the ridiculous trend of honoring professional politicians?
I would prefer a return to Lady Liberty rather than honoring political hacks in this way.
Well gee, when you make them nearly indistiguishable from the quarter, then slap the image of somebody nobody had ever heard of and who is not important enough to even qualfy to be on currency, what do you expect?
And to be honest, I don't even remember the new "Indian Head Dollar!" Was that thing like a quarter too?
"Why not honor our fallen soldiers with a coin..."
Fantastic idea. Truly.
Yup, I would be totally bummed out if that KFC Snacker sandwich went from costing 99 cents to costing a full dollar. The inflation associated with getting rid of the penny would undoubtedly destroy this country, LOL!
Apparently, most Americans are worried about prices being rounded up a few cents, but they aren't worried about the money we continue to waste on producing a penny that is clearly no longer necessary.
More govt waste.
What moron is responsible for this crap?
It has been tried and rejected how many times?
Still some gubmnt toad tries toshove this down our wallet?
Quit spending my money on junk.
I think it's a great idea - I've always liked the dollar coins, I just hope they know when to stop with the Presidents.
Maybe they should just make it a Ronald Reagan Dollar coin - THAT would drive the lefties nuts.....
Almost as bad as dead politicians.
Let's go back to Liberty.
According to the article, we spend hundreds of millions of dollars more than we need to each year because we keep on having to print more dollar bills to replace the ones that become ragged after just a few months or few years of use.
What does it say about our government when it's taken them decades to address this problem, and they still fail to give us a dollar coin that we'll accept? I've been to Canada and used their 1-dollar AND 2-dollar coins. It was just fine. No problems. So what's the deal here? Perhaps the government should just stop printing more 1-dollar bills. Duh!
That standing Liberty is in great condition!
Beautiful.
Color it black like oil. That is the international trade standard after all.
