Well, that's why your dollar coin works. We need a $2 coin to back it up, and to kill the paper dollar. That and make it attractive. Why they need to put ugly dead women on them I'll never understand. Plus I have yet to see a clean, untarnished, new $1 coin. And that includes the first time I saw one within a month of their release. Whatever metal/coating they used totally bit ass. But, these are the same people that bring you our new and improved (ugly ass) $20 bills. Give me a break people. We're the most powerful nation on the planet and our money looks like crap. No wonder it's plummeting in value... among other reasons... *coughbushcough*
