Ok.. I don't like these $1 coins, maybe its just me, but they are not distinctive enough from a quarter in the dark, they are heavy in numbers and how many coin operated machines accept them? Aside from all that I fear we are stuck with them.
Locally, here in Austin Texas I am hearing radio commercials often about how we as Americans should do our part to make these coins more popular, to use them, the pitch is.. These coins will last longer than paper dollars and save our economy many gazillions of dollars... and they are more environmentally friendly... cause we dont have to recyle them as often.
I'm all for environmentally friendly things, but we live in a paper society... not as much as 1970's but still we have and use our share of paper, especially us Realtors! Did you ever count all the papers that it takes to complete a contract? From first offer to HUD1 statement? All the parties get copies, my broker gets a copy, the other agent gets a copy and their broker and then I get to keep a copy. WHOA!! thats probably at least 100 pages. So with all that considered maybe I should get a lighter lipstick and start using those coins.
