    Don't snort coke with bills, you'll get hepatitis or some other disease, cash is filthy you don't want it in your veins.

    they wont change that design for the simple reason it will cost too much, think of everything that takes 1 dollar bills,
    Vending machines, toll booths, change machines, stamp machines, lotto machines, they would have to remake all those

    Someone gave me a $20 bill the other day, the old small portrait greenback. Did a double-take, thought it was fake! :)

    LOL.

    Have you guys ever given a $20 instead of a $5? It seems like a normal line of progression, it will make it easier when dealing with cash, no?

    Why would they convert to yet another coin that costs more to make than its face value? ;)

    This is what happens when you let Nigel Mansell help design money.

    Some of you are whack jobs: if you don't like your new 5$ bills, send them to me.
    All it is is money. That's it.

    (from http://www.moneyfactory.gov/document.cfm/18/2230)

    Of all the notes printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, $1 notes make up about 45% of currency production.

    The life span of a $1 Federal Reserve Note is 21 months. (Other denominations have different life spans.

    Cost of reprinting, plus shredding old bills vs coin lifespan of decades.

    The only way to make the $1 coin work would be design it different size from quarter, maybe shape. Then eliminate the bill at the same time.

    The only downside I see to $1 coins, is strip clubs. Clanking coins in a garter belt would 'distract' from the experience..... :D

    Then I guess you have to put the coins somewhere where they won't 'jingle', eh ? Ewwwwwww......

    Not much of a change so I do not really see why they are doing it but still no where near as funny looking as some of the international funds.

    this is a strip club in Vegas that does the $2 bill thing- I agree- genius
    I didn't even know they made $2 bills still until I went there

    I am going to start paying for everything in $2 bills and from here out will be known as the Mr $2 bill

    A straw or glass tube would be better. After a day, the straw might be clogged though, hey there's another line inside of it!
