Several members of Congress are suggesting phasing out the dollar bill entirely and replacing it with a coin. The production savings could add up to $5.5 billion over those three decades.
Yeah, I'd like to see them make change in a dark bar or theatre with that shit. Remember that Susan B. Anthony fiasco? I wanted to kill the makers of that thing. And all American's who don't carry a credit card will be so pleased to tote around 5 extra pounds of metal. And it costs the government $5.5 BILLION bucks to print paper over three decades??? Dude, it's paper. And what exactly is the government going to do with that savings? Hard to guess, since all they do is suck off us and fuck us in the ass anyway. Maybe they can buy some more 14 karat gold toilet seats for their oil stock owning ass's.
If it costs more to make a penny than the penny is worth..stop making THAT shit. No one wants it anyway. They aren't solid copper anymore and they haven't been since 1982. The government needs to stop calling us stupid. It pisses me off.

Other ways the government is 'helping' us in the news this week..
HERE.. Thanks, Social Security Administration for leaking the personal information of nearly half a million citizens (that we know about). Oooops, it was an accident!
HERE.. Thank you government for the help in getting HDTV to the masses. The Defense Department's subliminal message programs only work on digital TV signals. Don't ever tell me this is a conspiracy theory..I heard it from the horses mouth years ago. (Will tell the story if anyone wants to hear it.)
HERE.. Feds raid another legal medical marijuana farm, which continues to be illegal under federal law 15 years after the state's voters approved it. And if you're saying wtf right now, so is everyone else, except Big Brother, who knows what's best for us.

Whew! And there ends my political posting for awhile. I hate them, they give me high blood pressure. Damn I hate our government.
Meh, we've been lugging around $1 and $2 coins for years now. We get conditioned to it quickly and don't think about it. They're even talking about a $5 coin. We'll see.
The upside is when rooting under the sofa cushions for change is you can hit some big money.
Tossing $1 coins in a jar adds up quickly also.
remember they tried to REVIVE the $1 coin with the oh I'm gonna spell it wrong so I won't even try, the Indian girl guide of Lewis & Clark--easier than trying to spell her name, no disrespect to her and I don't have enough coffee in me to google.....that went over like a lead balloon too.....and THAT coin was too similar to quarters.....
remember half dollar coins? i got a few here....those were big ones....
people are using coins less and less--heck even paper money less and less.....
YES PLEASE!!! please tell about the digital tv signals!!! (that was another crock too.....i can't get local stations anymore and i'll be damned if i buy a converter box, fuck 'em).....
they got rid on anything smaller than a 5 in notes years ago here, sometimes my purse wont close there is so much metal in it. You just know they will do what the fuck they want anyway, the opinion of the voters has no place in government, didn't you know? meh
That's nice to know Frimmy. I was thinking it would be a pain.
Tell the story!!!
