Neat, even if it doesn't show daily commerce come to a crashing halt when some dingus whips out his wallet full of plastic! Padraic Things do move slowly. Remember a decade or two ago when each credit card purchase meant the clerk had to make a telephone call to verify you card and balance? At least that part is pretty much automated now. It still can be a annoying to be standing in line with exact change in hand behind a couple people paying for a bottle of shampoo and pack of cigarettes with their credit cards. And then the pen runs dry........ and the credit card reader balks......... I still remember those booklets with the list of bad card numbers that the CC companies issued every couple of weeks. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

Just a question I'd like to ask. I the $1 bill is eliminated for a $1 coin, and the $2 bill begins to circulate widely (as many public opinion polls have suggested) would you support getting rid of the $2 bill for a $2 coin about 2-5 years after the $1 bill goes? I think a $2 coin would be a great idea if our $2 denomination becomespopularlike Canada's did. I'd like to see the U.S. use the Canadian Twonie as a prototype for a U.S. $2 coin if they issue one. I'd want a $2 coin even if it only circulated about as much as the current $2 bill does, because they'd still be fun to spend. But just think, if the $2 bill, or $2 coin becomespopular, the only oddity we could have fun spending, would be th half dollar.
