Do you mean AFTER the presidential series or DURING the presidential
series?

As I've pointed out several times in the past: the URL has a colon at the
end and Outlook Express loves to drop punctuation marks from the end of
URLs.

Simply click on it, when you get the "page not found" screen, add the colon
at the end in the address bar.

Spouses. It's in the full text on the web. Use the links I provided or use
Thomas directly.

"Title: A bill to require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in
commemoration of each of the Nation's past Presidents and their spouses,
respectively to improve circulation of the $1 coin, to create a new
bullion coin, and for other purposes."

I hope the part that says "to improve circulation of the $1 coin" is the
fact that they plan to stop printing one dollar bills after the
presidential series is over. I can only keep my fingers crossed!

I also wonder what "new bullion coin" means.

Against them, however not totally against them. Change for 1,3,6,8,11 etc
would still need to be made. Then they could work on getting rid of the
two dollar bill like they did in Canada. Though like Canada, I think it's
best to have a one and two dollar coin.

Barney

As I've posted a number of times, with elimination of the one dollar
note and increased usage of two dollar notes, the only times it would
be absolutely necessary to give one dollar coins in change would be
for amounts of $1 and $3....all other amounts could be acheived using
$2, $5, $10 and $20 notes.

Of course, a cashier may find it easier to tender a $5 note and a one
dollar coin rather than three $2 notes for change of $6, etc., but it
wouldn't be necessary.

To the best of my knowledge, the bill calls for half of the total $1 coin
production to be the commemorative design and the other half the existing
'Sac' design throughout the duration of that program. That will be a *LOT* of
coins and, absent any independant confirmation, Fred's report on the coins
becoming the 'default' $1 in the banking system is trending towards passing my
'smell' test.

Any more official/semi-official word on this?

BTW, Welcome back, Barney! :-)

I used to be a cashier at a photo dept/food store. If the change was six
dollars, I have never given out six, one dollar bills. And just like you
say, it's faster to pull a $5 note and a one dollar coin from the cash
drawer. Also, newer paper money has a bad habbit of sticking
together...taking longer to unstick them. That does not happen with coins.

Hi, it feels good to be here! Though I never really did leave, I just
pop in now and then to see if there is any GD news!

I'm still using my Johnson Belt Changer with the dollar sized tube at
work...Dominos. And I still get at least 4-6 dollar rolls every week
from my local bank. Though that's not quite the one box per month I used
to do. The ratio of GDs per box I order is a very good 70%. To me, that
just means less SBAs to get rid of.

Like you, I'm sure everyone eles would like to see the "official word" on
this GD situation. I really want to beleive, and the source so far has
been a very good one. It just makes me wonder though without seeing some
kind of bill writen for the halt of the paper dollar.

I've still got my fingers crossed!


Barney

Not a peep, but I just interact with "normal" tellers. Either we need
another "special" replacement teller during a period of high absence or
someone needs to find out what bar the bank insiders hang out in.

I've been way to busy at work to do much other than check a bookmarked link
once in a while for status updates. Since the Senate in in recess there will
be no movement for a month, but there could be press reports if Senators
start talking about this.

I also have not bothered to call and ask any staff (the folks who do a lot
of the work).

I've been flooding my coworkers with the Super Shiny GDs and spending a
bunch as well and folks are going nuts over them. We must get rid of the
commingled Susies! Send them to one of the "dollarized" countries. Then
again, if they flood us with Prezibux the Susies will be diluted and truely
bcome "RARE APOLLO XI DOLLAR COINS FROM THE 1900's". (The folks at work also
get a kick out of those rolls every so often.)
