Comment on Americans for George…and paper! by John

I agree, it’s just a matter of time until currency is digital anyways.

This is such a non issue that it’s pathetic that Senator Harkin is even trying to get rid of the dollar bill. The funniest part about the whole debate is that one of the cornerstone’s of his argument is that switching to dollar coins will save trees. Doesn’t he know that dollar bills are made of recycled cotton and not paper?

To your point about the ads, both sides of the debate have ad budgets and need to spend their money somewhere. Switching to a dollar coin would obviously hurt many businesses, and these companies don’t want to be overlooked. Personally, I hate change and the last thing I’d want is to have to carry around more of it.

In the grand scheme of things, a hundred million dollars in savings isn’t even something that should be on Congress’ radar, especially when they have better ways to cut spending. Moreover, they shouldn’t save a hundred million dollars of government spending only to create hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary costs to businesses. This also doesn’t factor in the effect of producing billions of dollar coins on commodity prices.

Some relevant links I found:
2010 comparison chart Blogger vs. WordPress (see cool widget chart in same post)
conclusion – “If WordPress.com allowed stylesheet editing without having to pay, and visitor stats comparable to the tracker scripts you can obtain for free, my choice would have been WordPress.com for sure.”
