If the 95% of the coins in the United States (i.e. 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c) were no

remaining coins? Would they go up in value? Could 3 quarters be worth the
same as a $1 bill?
Or will people still value coins by their face

Since the US government would not do this on

How big is the stamp supply, by the way?
How much `float' does the USPS have?
