Replacing $1 bill with coin could save $5.6 billion
A proposal to phase out the $1 bill and replace it with a $1 coin could be gaining currency as the “supercommittee” looks to find ways to save the government money.
I think…
Canadian here just to say that dollar and two dollar coins are the shit. I was in San Francisco this fall wishing I had coin change rather than fiddling with paper bills that blend in with receipts and I can’t tell a $1 from a fifty. Plus ripped up dollar bills + machines don’t mix. You generally don’t have that problem with loonies and toonies.
And if they can save the government money, hey why not!
