Get Ready For The Zinkel

And the dime, and the quarter....all coinage other than the dollar coins should be ENDED. Our government has inflated the value of coins in commerce away. Most people are using electronic transactions and the few of us old folks still using cash don't care much about getting coins back either (collector exception).

The mining, cost of production and time wasted by humans counting and moving heavy metal disks around in giant diesel spewing trucks is a travesty to mankind. Every year, MILLIONS of gallons of precious fuel are spent - wasting energy and polluting our environment all to shuffle around coins.

Here's a fun question!

How much gasoline is WASTED in every road vehicle from hauling around the extra weight of coins inside their cars?

Come on, EVERY car has coins inside it. I suspect a few more million gallons are wasted if you look at the additive effect of an extra pound or two on every single car in America.
