Gave a guy a dollar bill last night at work and he gave me a John Adams gold coin. Can you use those at stores and other places?
 
I still have yet to see one of these.

Problem is, every time they try a dollar coin, they don't make enough. People decide to collect them (which is retarded -- it's money, you dolt, there's a billion of them, and they aren't going to appreciate in value), and there's not enought for them to actually circulate. They need to FLOOD the market with them so that people get used to seeing them and using them.

It's absurd that we're not using dollar coins yet. They're so much more convenient and cheaper to make. Apparently surveys show that most people don't want dollar bills taken out of circulation, but who gives a ****? They should do it anyway.
 
I've got buckets of Susan B. Anthony dollars and a drawer packed with Dwights. And I feel darn good about it.

See, now you're the problem. Know how much those SBAs are going to be worth 100 years from now? A DOLLAR!

But they'll each be worth a foxy dollar.

But even now, they're worth less and less every day against Canada's Avril Lavigne Looney.

She sucks. Susan B. Anthony was more punk rock than Avril Lavigne.

Sacagawea would kick the **** out of both.

I'm quite close with a Native American, and she would agree.

Yeah, you're quite close with a woman. Pull the other one.
 
Aren't they doing them like state quarters? I have some George's and some Adams - I guess Jefferson would be next?
 
Thankfully, there's a bank here that takes care of me and saves all the special coinage for me to collect.

And, FWIW, the government smiles a little smile every time one of you pockets one of those suckers. The dollar coin costs eight cents to produce. So every time you take one of those bad boys out of circulation, the government has made 92 cents.
 
And if anyone cares ... and is too lazy to look it up themselves ... we're one week away from the release of the JQ Adams one.
 
There is no answer to that which is not bursting with Fail.
