As a country, we could save $522 MILLION a year, if we gave up our one dollar bill and switched to the one dollar coin.  The US Treasury has tried to accomplish that with the Susan B. Anthony dollar, and the Sacagawea dollar, without much success.  They are currently producing a series of one dollar coins with the faces of the presidents.<br \/>\nFor those who are circulating an e-mail saying that &#8220;In God We Trust&#8221; has been dropped from this coin, please take a closer look.  The dollar coin has a smooth edge (unlike the quarter, which has perpendicular ridges along the edge), and &#8220;In God We Trust&#8221; is cut into the edge of the coin.  The coin is slightly larger than a quarter, and is a pale gold\/bronze color.<br \/>\nGo read what Tom Hundley had to say at the Trib.  It&#8217;s an interesting story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Change For The Dollar,&#8221; in the Chicago Tribune fascinated me.
