    its cheaper to make the coins

    i saw some thing on discovery channel saying that the life span of a dollar bill is about 18-22 months and costs the government 4.2 cents to make

    and a coin is costs 12 cents per coin to make but the life span of a dollar coin is 30 years

    I can see that, I think it would be cool to get rid on dollar bills. But why don't they just say. OK WE ARE DONE, USE COINS NOW.

    I have the first two they came out with.

    This isn't the same thing as 01. That was Sacejewea or w/e her name.

    These are a whole different line, same concept.

    But think about having $100 in coins in your pockets. You would need 3 belts to keep your pants on, far aswell looking like a douche. What about selling cars and such? Asking 4800 but will take 4500 if you come with coins.

    Wrong!

    There will always be a need for cash. Even if the US govt was to get rid of all US paper currency, we would still have cash flowing around this country.

    Who the hell walks around with 100 dollar bills in their pockets? Or pays for a car with one dollar bills?

    fuck coins.. the current common coins today are annoying to carry in your pocket..

    But, imagine going to the strip club and instead of throwing bills you throw coins? hahah that would be funny as hell... the strippers will be walking around with bruises and shit haha

    Or you and a drunken buddy can start beting on who can poke her eye out 1st with a coin or who can land a coin inside her kitty when shes bending over...

    actually, coins might be cool

    lol
