Presidential Dollars

Posted: 12/14/2011 9:37:19 AM | Views:2316

Not totally gone but made just for us now

The government in its "wisdom" decided to stop the US Mint from producing the presidential dollars for general circulation. Souns like the dollars would still be made for the mint sets and the specially wrapped rolls in the white boxes. No more $1000 boxes. The government really has been another chance to stop making the dollar bill. The public would then start using the dollar coin which lasts up to 7 times longer than the paper currency. That would be the real savings and the vaults would start to be emptied out. I would think they would learn after the Susan B Anthony and the Sacagawea's how to make it work.
