Senators Want To Replace $1 Bill With $1 Coin - News Story - KRDO Colorado Springs

Senators Want To Replace $1 Bill With $1 Coin - News Story - KRDO Colorado Springs:

"The fight over whether or not the dollar should be printed or minted continues. The latest volley of cannon in favor of the dollar coin came from Senators Tom Harkin of Iowa and Arizona's John McCain.
On Tuesday they introduced the Currency Optimization, Innovation, and National (COINS, coincidentally) Act to promote the use of coins in an effort to curb waste and spending. The senators cite multiple Government Accountability Office reports that demonstrate a large, long-term savings by phasing out printed and rolling out more durable coins."

Comment .....Someone should remind these guys that coins are much harder to steal because the coins are heavier. It will take longer to fill the wheel barrow and wheel to the Federal bullet proof Limo...Mention that putting coins in their freezer will take up more space...They won't be able to hide as much behind the Wonder Bread..
