I seriously don't see this happening. Someone's probably just having some fun.

What an ugly coin. Though I wouldn't mind more modern looking paper money, the greenback is just boring IMO. Something like the Euro or the Canadian Dollar would be nice.

I am looking for actual gold rather than the paper kind that the banks and Kitco like to sell. Found a bunch at greatly increased prices from the paper gold pricing. I am seriously looking now after seeing the financial troubles of the world.

Zimbabwe in 2000, the inflation in that country skyrocketed to 231 million percent a year! Just think about it - 231 000 000%! Unemployment went up to 80% and a third of country’s population left it.

One silver dollar would have been able to clean off my debt in this scenario :O

If you do away with the dollar bill, what will the strippers do? Walk around with piggybanks attached to their ass?

Up here in Canada the strippers have a magnets on strings that they use to pick up the one and two dollar coins. IMO it works better than the bills.

The US dollar is set to implode and inflation will climb if they keep printing money (unchecked).

The AMERO is a real thing but it isn't going to happen if we elect ME into office. Voting for anyone else would be an open door policy for unionizing with Canada and Mexico.

problem with this is that Canada and Mexico have to agree with it.
