EG> He said that those who have said the dollar bill has lost it's buying

was there anyone there who could have called him on this baldfaced
lie?
EG> OH, I see more! Coins ARE part of the US Gov. while NOTES are from a

EG> while coins are valid "money." Hummm... (this by the way came from
EG> Mr. Bimmer, although I don't think he meant for it to come out the

i've been following this dollar coin thing in the news and quite
frankly i support the move. i'd not yet made the connection of the
fact that coins are debt free. this is reason enough for me.
does anyone out there have a good argument against getting rid of the
paper dollar?

EG> Okay, Congressmen Jack Metcalf just said it! COINS ARE DEBTFREE and
EG> put into the economy AT FACE VALUE! While NOTE ARE NOT!!!
EG> That's it folks! Patriots, we gotta support this dollar coin idea!
EG> Just think, we could have Dollar coins, 5 Dollar Coins, 20 Dollar
EG> Coins, 100 Dollar coins, 1000 Dollar coins (about 2 oz of Gold thank
EG> you!) and PUT THE FED OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF PRINTING MONEY!
this would be much harder to do. it might be possible _after_ a few
years of using the coins. we should try to push this one coin at a
time.
