Well...in response to that, maybe that is exactly what the US Treasury and Mint have in mind. While I see no direct Golden Dollar promotion anymore, I also do not see the new design $1 bill. Remember in the past few years, the new $100, $50, $20, $10, and even the $5 have been released. And it's been at least 2-3 years since the new $5 came out. Still no new $1 bill. Does this mean the Treasury and Mint are secretly planning to get rid of the paper $1 bill?
Could be. I find it suspicious that they haven't introduced a new style bill, when all the other bills are new. B At 12:37 12/30/2001 -0500, Stephen Gallagher wrote: >> It is very disappointing.
