But why stop at a 25% reduction is size? Why not reduce all coins by 50%. So much easier to carry then.  Same for our paper currency. Why not reduce them to about 50% to save all that stuff they make them out of. |

More billions spent on cents nobody wants and dollars nobody uses. A Golden Fleece Award candidate for sure.

Sounds like an April Fools joke to me. They can't make any decisions in Washington anymore.

Nice joke. If they didn't mention the reduction in coin size, it would have been a little more believable.

who would even want to counterfeit circulating coins anyway? and what would be the point of reducing the size? if it wasnt april I would have believed this, it's so stupid it sounds like a real government idea.
