Here we go again. It’s just about time for another congressional session and a bunch of new legislators coming to Washington and there it is again, the proposal to get rid of the paper dollar bill and replace it with a coin.
Does it make sense?? YES!!
Will it happen?? Probably not!!
Why? Because we’re morons!!
Every two years this subject comes up and the reasoning to get rid of the paper dollar bill makes sense and the only reason we keep it is for the dumbest of childish reasoning.
Doing away with the paper dollar bill and going to a coin would save more than $5 billion dollars over a decade……FIVE BILLION DOLLARS!!! That’s the main, biggest, and most important reason to do this.
What are the reasons people want to keep making the paper dollar? We here are the most popular:
1. People don’t like carrying coins. Really, you couldn’t carry five or possibly six coins in your pocket. I mean c’mon man; once you get five of them you could trade it in for a $5 bill. I’ve never met a cashier who didn’t need smaller denominations.
2. The dollar coins are too hard to distinguish between them and a quarter – REALLY. You really want the reason we waste $5 billion dollars printing a paper dollar to be because you’re too inadequate at money recognition to determine the difference between a dollar coin and a quarter coin….BRILLIANT!!
3. It’s easier to fold the bills and put them in your pocket. Well you got me there!! You really can’t fold a coin, but it does fit neatly into your pocket.
So there it is. We can save money by using dollar coins or spend $5 billion over the next decade printing paper dollars so you can fold them up, put them in your pocket, and be able to tell the difference between your dollars and quarters.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Later,
Bill
makes sense, but c'mon how could you make a poor mans gangsta roll with coins?
