Quote:Most of our car washes take the Presidential dollars now too and I've never seen one that takes a "$2.00 bill"..... The new carwash I frequently use accepts both, even in the machines in each wash bay! It is interesting to note that using the central "change machine" (which is pointless since each wash-bay accepts the same denominations and bills that it does) gives you quarters! Yes, slide in a fin and get back 20 quarters. Pop in a baby dollar and get four quarters! Pointless! Why would you change a dollar coin into quarters when the machines in the wash bays already accept the dollar coins?  Maybe it was for those people that are completely accustomed to using quarters; they might have have been lost had there not been a central change machine there!  |

I dislike paper money dollar bills....especially when they're crumpled up, stuffed in bras, sweat on and folded up in a pseudo-origami style.

Once the announce the end of dollar bills, everyone will start hoarding them too.

Technically, will the first Bill dollar be William Henry Harrison?

nod2003 No, because "his" Presidency was worth more than a "dollar", whereas "Slick Willie's" was only worth about that......hence the first "Dollar Bill", plus it's a good "handle" for him as he goes to certain "places"....  Edited by eaglefoot

I can't imagine the Government halting a coin "series" once it had been announced.
Get rid of the dollar bill, and continue the Presidential series.
Coins work for the Canadians!

I don't care to much for carrying around a bunch of change in my pocket. gets heavy after a while and besides I really don't like carrying keys in my pocket. So I don't like the idea of doing away with the dollar bill unless it does away with the people the bureau of engraving sells there money to if you know what I mean

"Coins work for the Canadians!"  Loonies/Twonies are very practical to use. Our $1 bill is unnecessary; end it. |

I say, don't keep us in limbo and just let us know what the intentions are....and what direction they want to go, in time. That way we can plan accordingly.

I bought my first PGD's (Pres. Gold Dollars) over my vacation in Cape May. Though they are legal tender, I think the set will be more for just collectors

The Presidential dollar "Proof Set" will be, for me, to put into an album.....though nowadays I really question doing that even...... I'm really "bothered" to continue to get these for the whole duration of the program ! But yeah......."my" sets will all be cracked, and holed most likely !... |

I think they should get rid of the dollar bill. Bills just don't last long enough. Both the Euro and the Pound are like that and its worked fairly well for them.

I wish they just eliminated the series altogether, as well as the First Spouse series. They should stop it after the 10th President and rename it the "Founding Presidents Series" or something like that, only honoring the early American presidents.
