Dollar Bill, I Just Can't See A Future Between Us

If the public is willing, the dollar bill will soon be overtaken by dollar coins.

"The changeover to coins could save the Treasury an estimated $500m (£260m) a year because they last up to 40 years, compared with just 18 months for notes."

Sounds good.

"Each coin will feature the image of a former president, starting in February with George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams."

Hmm, not all of these guys were too handsome.

""Using a dollar coin is more convenient in parking meters, it's more convenient at the subway kiosk, it's more convenient in vending machines," he said. "

I have no issues with dollar coins. If I didn't have to coerse another dollar bill into a machine again, it would be worth it. The Sacagawea coin looks better, but just wait until the Bill Clinton coin launches; what a stud.
