Dan769 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 It would be nice to see a complete overhaul of our monetary system. Cent elimination, sweeping design changes, paper dollar ceases, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Kolbe's home state of Arizona is the largest copper producing state in the nation. Copper is the main material of the nickel which would benefit by becoming the lowest denomination of currency in circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Rather than a bill to eliminate the cent, why not a bill to eliminate the constant rampant inflation that is destroying the value of the cent as well as every other unit of our currency every second of every day?

Dockwalliper Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Found the bill number, H.R. 5818. No info available yet on the congressional sites but the opposition is already screaming. The bill includes elimination of the $1 bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 The bill includes elimination of the $1 bill. Round everything up to the nearest even number and use $2 bills instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt-AWACS Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Round everything up to the nearest even number and use $2 bills instead! No that would make to much cents [sic] and save money. Americans are not known for making sense with money, especially when political interests get involved. But in the end it will be status quo. What a shame.

Dockwalliper Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Dansco will be happy.... e) Numismatic Items- The Secretary of the Treasury may produce so many 1-cent pieces as the Secretary determines are sufficient to include in uncirculated sets, proof sets, and other collector sets as, from time to time, the Secretary shall determine.

Dockwalliper Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 If the President dollar coins are really popular....

henare Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 That's what will kill it. agreed. too many jobs at crane paper would be lost and and these folks have been incredibly good at lobbying against efforts to eliminate the $1 note.

Conder101 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 <<That's what will kill it.>> Yep and for no good reason since the actual number of jobs lost at Craine would be very small. Everyone thinks that since the dollar bill represents the bulk of the paper Craine makes for currency that there would be a lot of layoff. No one ever considers the fact that if the dollar bill is dropped the production of twos will skyrocket and take up a lot of the slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
