Wasnt this done in Rome as well?

[Jonty30]

It’s one of the tricks you use when you’re running low on tricks.

[crusty old prospector]

How about we save money by not printing the green kind?

[SandRat]

It was one of the things done during WWII when copper was needed for bullets.

[crusty old prospector]

How about we just replace "Canada" with "Obamaonation?"

Caesar is shaving the coins again

[Sawdring]

There was a Freeper on here somewhere advocating buying up as many nickels and pennies as possible because they were worth more than five cents and one cent.

[rockabyebaby]

eliminating the provision requiring the Mint to produce Native American dollar coins in an amount equal to 20 percent of all dollar coins produced

Hmmmm, isn't that racist?

[KarlInOhio]

Daily spot prices of copper and zinc, the Mint's two main metallic materials, have fluctuated in excess of 400 percent,

Too many people buying brass.

Who would have expected a president being able to turn copper, zinc and nickel into precious metals.

Additionally, the Budget increases the Mint's flexibility to match customer demand and supply by eliminating the provision requiring the Mint to produce Native American dollar coins in an amount equal to 20 percent of all dollar coins produced.

Yeah, everyone is just begging for the Franklin Pierce dollar coin, but doesn't want to deal with getting squawbuck instead.

They’ll probably end up making them out of polymer with a metal core to add weight.

[Beowulf9]

and who made their value decrease?

[Uncle Ike]

One step closer to the Barter Economy....

HOW ABOUT WE THROW OBAMA OUT ON HIS BUTT!

[jcon40]

So if the Obama followers are that stupid, why doesn’t he declare:

Pennies worth dollars,
Nickles = $5
Dimes = $10
Quarters = $25
Dollars worth $100
and so on

Then everybody can be rich !
Obama can tax everyone !
(Maybe then everyone can pay their “fair” share)

Then Obama can have lots more money to give his selected people of the moment more $$$ !

[SVTCobra03]

Next up; replace all currency with an RFID chip implanted in everyone’s hand or forehead.

[Political Junkie Too]

Watch this wreak havoc on all the vending machines.

[Brookhaven]

Like nobody has ever thought of this before.

It’s the same as saying you’re going to cut government waste and save boatloads of money. An old idea, that keeps cumming around. And, every time it comes around, it’s announced like they had a great, original idea.

[null and void]

Are there no FReepers old enough to remember when silver coins were really silver?

1964? Was it that long ago?

[KC_Lion]

How about we go back these you Ass Clown, That way the money isn't made out of Thin Air!

[Lazlo in PA]

Maybe we can use all the metal from cash for clunkers cars to make the new Obummer money.
