REFUSE NEW COINS
U.S.Government to Release New Dollar Coins
You guessed it
'IN GOD WE TRUST' IS GONE!!!
If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!!
DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE
Together we can force them out of circulation.
This simple action will make a strong statement.
Please help do this.. Refuse to accept these when they are handed to
you. I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for
a dollar bill instead. The lady just smiled and said 'way to go' ,
so she had read this e-mail.
Please help out...our world is in enough trouble without this
too!!!!!
Puzzeled????
No reasonable reason for this 'advice' has been given.
(try reading the edge of the coin, it is NOT reeded)
There are a host of reasons for the reverse of this idea.
AND mainly because of the DOLLAR savings of adopting coin
over currency at this denomination.
The average life span of a paper bills (specially ones) has been
reported as SHORT (as few as 3-6 months) and the projected life span of
coinage is in excess of 18 years.
