BiffSplitkins Posted October 26, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Remember the $1 coin? Probably not, considering none of us really use it. That’s why there’s about $1 billion worth of them sitting in the Federal Reserve’s vault. But now, the supercommittee charged with fixing our federal deficit might be unearthing the dollar coin from its grave.In a story in USA Today, the 12-member Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction is reportedly considering a proposal to phase out the $1 bill and replace it with a dollar coin.While the move would cost the government money in the short term, it would eventually save an estimated $5.6 billion over 30 years, according to the Government Accountability Office.

Daniel Carver Posted October 26, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2011 All of us New Yorkers are very used to using $1 coins. Its the only thing that you get from the LIRR / Mass Transit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't popular here in Central NY, but I used like getting them back in my change whenever I would buy postage stamps from a vending machine.

Corp Posted October 26, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) The idea was mocked a fair bit when the Loonie was brought into place up here but it seems to have worked out for the most part. But yes the strippers do suffer. Edited October 26, 2011 by Corp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted October 26, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 26, 2011 They have these Presidential Dollars out now. http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/ I've collected every one except John Quincy Adams. I've got up to Rutherford B. Hayes. James Garfield should probably be out soon. I get them out of vending machines here at Intel. I take the extra ones home and my wife uses them to buy stuff all over the place. No one seems to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Der Box Skeptisch Posted October 26, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I love the dollar coin. If it makes a difference to use them instead of paper money then I am all for the move. I use them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veledran Posted October 27, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2011 As a gamer, I always enjoyed the newer dollar coins. Penny = copper piece 10 copper pieces = 1 dime (silver piece) 10 silver pieces = $1 (gold piece) Just like the gaming gods intended it to be.

BiffSplitkins Posted October 27, 2011 Author #18 Share Posted October 27, 2011 My big question is what will the strippers do once all currency is done away with? I mean, where are we going to have to swipe our atm cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
