I think I covered that already. You are complaining that you can't get the dollar coins YOU WANT at your local bank, but I managed to get a roll of dollar coins just fine, thank you very much.

The point is that even currency as we know it is going away. Governments like electronic bits because they are easier to track. You can't have an underground economy when the transactions are recorded at the bank. High denomination bills may be next to meet the chopping block.

Wisconsin is the next battle field. Sanders was behind Clinton in the polls there last week, but now leads there.

Winning is a must and it must be by a large majority. New York is being flooded with Clinton campaign cash. A huge victory in Wisconsin could tip the win to Sanders in New York.

Bernie Sanders can win the majority of the delegates, but lose the nomination to the super delegates. There's pressure on the super delegates to follow the wishes of the voters as we speak.

Sanders wins by bigger majorities than Clinton against any Republican. Clinton is actually tied with Cruz in a match up, while Sanders beats Cruz. Clinton has high disapproval ratings with ALL voters, but not as bad as Trump.

After the landslide victories in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii, Sanders is on a roll.

Sorry i didnt see your response, where you had obtained a roll of EISENHOWER SILVER dollars,
And out of curiosity just where, and when did this occur?
And be honest, which you seem to be, if you didn't get EISENHOWER SILVER dollars say so, or if you did and it wasn't at a bank say and how much it cost you

Oh silly, the Eisenhower Silver is as old as the $2 bill. I got the new faux gold one dollar coins, the same ones that vending machines disburse.

I mean I wouldn't be caught dead going to a Renaissance fair with silver.

But that was my original argument and still is, the faux gold ones are worth the same as paper, unless you count using them as weights other wise nothing is their real value

Money is an illusion. Sea shells used to be used as currency. It costs more to make a penny than what it's worth.

Pennies and nickels cost more to make than they're worth

t's still costing the U.S. government a pretty penny to make chump change.
Thanks to rising metal prices, since 2006 the U.S. Mint has had to spend more money to produce and distribute nickels and pennies than the coins are actually worth.
How much more? About 1.7 cents to make a penny and 8 cents to make a nickel, according to a new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
That in turn has reduced the overall profits the federal government realizes from making and circulating new coins in the economy.
The obvious solution: Just use cheaper metals.
Simple, right? Not so much.
For one thing, the U.S. Mint hasn't identified a metal composition cheaper than zinc, which makes up 97.5% of every penny.

Now that seems reasonable

Our gas pumps round to the nearest thousands of a cent. Like $2.489 a gallon. Fucking weird.

i bet the US thinks it's a dumb idea because canada thought of it first...
just like robertson screws...

Lmao that's easy ask for those faux gold coins, they are in reality worth the same, but you will feel better because its called a dollar, same ffect good for the psych, and a hell of alot better than the oft denied reality =D>
