Did you see the story on the national news last night about about presidential dollar coins? It seems that dollar bills are a losing proposition for taxpayers. Paper dollars wear out quickly and have to be printed more than any other paper money. The U.S. Mint will spend $5.5 bilion dollars in the next 30 years... just to print dollar bills. To save money, we could all use dollar coins. There are millions of them already minted, sitting in storage, waiting for us to get off our collective asses.
So we can all do ourselves a favor by using them. The next time you go to the bank, ask for a roll of dollar coins. The teller will look at you like you're crazy, but it can be your way to save the government, and yourself, some money.
