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

I know what you mean. But, I wonder how much money would be saved if we didn’t make anymore pennies and nickels? They have such a low value anymore it just doesn’t seem worth it. Although I suppose then there would be some weird increase in the value of pennies and nickels as collectors items perhaps?

Although the government could just confiscate them all. (over my dead piggy bank)

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

At least phase out the filthy, poisonous dollar bills. A total wast of money. Print more two dollar bills , which have 7 or 8 times the life expectancy of singles, and force the public to use dollar coins. If you have 2 dollar bills, you only need to carry one one dollar coin. Dollar bills last less than a year. Then they’re shredded and dumped in landfills. They carry all sorts of bacteria and viruses. Ever wonder why your wallet sometimes smells like cheap perfume? It’s because dollar bills have been deloused. Dollar coins are naturally anti-bacterial/anti virus. I wash my hands after handling them.
