Will They Ever Learn???

Today the government has released a new one dollar coin. This coin is the first of its type to feature a president on it. The U.S. Mint believes that they have prevented the problem with earlier dollar coins by making sure that there are a lot in circulation, as the problem with dollar coins SOOO was that we just couldn’t get enough of them. Also they are going to make a new coin every three months with a different president’s face on it, starting with Washington, in the hopes that people collect them like with the 50-state quarters. (Like that isn’t what people are forced to do with them now. No vending machine takes them, not even post office ones that only give you dollar coins back. Stores don’t really want them as the registers aren’t set up for them [Sure there is that extra coin spot, but it’s full of rolled coins, or paper clips.] And some cashiers done even know what they are.) And no country has both a dollar coin and bill where both are commonly used; its one or the other and we would rather have the bill. (As would strippers, waitresses, people trying to trick people in movies with a case of $100 bills that are actually mostly $1 bills and any one else that likes the shape or weight of bills over coins.)-T
