Poll Question
Okay, this poll is to ask how you think the U.S. Mint should go about designing a U.S. $2 coin, should the $2 bill be replaced after the $1 bill.

I support a $2 coin modeled after the Canadian toonie. Sign me up for that one. I might also support a golden rong around a silver centered $5 coin in the future, but not right away.

Poll Choices
 The Canadian toonie should be the prototype for the new U.S. $2 coin with just ONE main design.
 It dhould be like Canada's toonie, but with multiple designs when it first comes out.
 It should be reversed of Canda's toonie (A golden ring around a silver center) with ONE main design.
 It should be reversed of Canda's toonie (A golden ring around a silver center) with multiple design.
 It should be made COMPLETELY different (from scratch), without ANY reference to the Canadian toonie.
 We should retain and just redesign the $1 and $2 bills.
 We should just retain the $1 and $2 bills and leave their designs alone.
 We should change the $1-$100 bills to polymer and have longer lasting $1 & $2 bills.
 We should have redesigned polymer $1 and $2 bills.
 We should have polymer $1 and $2 bills, but leave their current designs alone.
 Eliminate the $2 denomination completely from circulation and keep the $1 bill and redesign it.
 We should eliminate the $1 & $2 bill, but only issue $1 coins and no $2 coins.
 Go to $1 and $2 coins and add a $5 coin..
 Go to a $1 coin, a $5 coin, and skip the $2 coin.
 Other: (Please specify).

Oops! The title of this thread was obviously supposed to be "If the *U*.S. goes to $1 & $2 Coins". Sorry about that. I need a new keyboard where the letters are not worn of the keys.

I would rather like a single non-changing coin that would depict Teddy Roosevelt. After all he did a revamping of our coins that are now considered great. Perhaps him on the front and the reverse would depict either an Elk or a big horn sheep.

The $1 and $5 dollar bills should go away. The presidential coins should also go away but the Native American themed dollar should be kept and go mainstream (issued for general use. But now I can't decide what an appropriate $5 coin would be however I believe it should be a person or place that has not been honored on any coin or bit of currency.

I support replacing the $1 note with the $2 note. Cease printing new $1 notes and ramp up $2 note production to the $1 notes' current level.

The $2 notes would easily take the place of the $1 note in cash registers, and the inevitable hoarding of the discontinued $1 notes would increase seignorage.
Crane Paper Co. would be printing the same basic quantity of notes (in a higher denomination), so they couldn't complain.

The general public is used to a low-denomination note, so replacing the $1 note with common $2 notes would keep everyone happy,
while at the same time justifying circulation of $1 coins that already exist in the vaults. Cashiers wouldn't have to give a customer four $1 coins,
as they would sometimes have to if the lowest circulating note was $5.
With the $2 note in place, they'd hand out one $1 coin at most (or even four Quarters)

Adding a $2 coin would be overkill, but it would make a neat replacement for the Half-Dollar in NIFC Proof/Mint collector sets...

America is the land of choice - or it was - so make polymer $1.00 and $2.00 notes so they last a long time, but also make dollar and $2.00 coins for those who want them.

Everybody can be happy this way.
