Will you use the newest version of the $1 coin -- the Presidential Coin -- because the U.S. Mint says it's good for the environment?



Yes, makes sense to me.

No, I'll stick with my greenbacks.

Seriously... i do not want to having to lug around change in my pocket. Our pockets can only hold so much and i certainly do not want to have a bag with me just to hold my change. yes i understand its environmental-friendly but it isn't convenient when you think about it.

The coins have little intrensic value, and are heavy. The paper has little intrensic value and is practically weightless. Not hard to figure out what
intelligent people will want to carry, is it. But, the green bunch, isn't
the brightest group around is it? So, maybe that's all it takes to convince
the thought challenged bunch to switch ... a tv commercial. Afterall, that's
pretty much what they do with their time isn't it? Watch tv, worship
Gore, and dream of having enought money to by a carbon credit? (How do I
get in on that scam anyway?)

Beyond the weight of metal dollars, why did they pick Oregonians to lug around dollars with Andrew Jackson, the president guilty of the Trail of Tears?
