Reissue The 2 Cent Coin If We Are Going To Keep The Cent?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. No changes to any of the coins or dollar bills are going to save any money. The second they stop making them the money will be diverted elsewhere and gone - a drop of water in the apparent overflowing ocean our government believes is the national treasury. You could write about saving $99 million and I can write about a single $100 million trip that wouldn't even pay for. Trying to devise schemes around saving money at the Federal level is like trying to get McDonalds to sell nothing but healthy value packed meals... it isn't going to happen. They may claim any sorts of savings they want in any of the bills they put forth and it is a joke waiting for a punchline.

That's my 2 cents...

Depends on how you classify savings. Right now they spend $200 and they get $100 in cents, net result a loss of $100. If you discontinue the cent you have the $200 that you didn't spend. That seems to be a savings of $100. Of course they then spend that $200 on something else. So now you have that something else, but you don't have the $200, an you don't have the $100 in cents. So do you have a savings or not?

I want them to make a coin that has a blank where I fill in the value. :)
