We are paying to store these excess coins. less not forget ” render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.”

After creating a Universe with billions of galaxies, trillions of stars, and who knows how many planets, God also cares about little pieces of metal that’re used for buying things?

Oh, well. I read somewhere that almost half the American public believes God involves Himself (or maybe Herself) in the outcome of the Super Bowl.

Why should we stop producing coins? Coins will always be used; always have, always will, credit cards will not stop that. Credit cards have been around for almost 50 years, but more coins are produced now than ever. We are the greatest nation God has ever made, let us make coins, to say we should stop to save a few bucks is a poverty mentality, instead of thanking God for providing the money to make the coins and thanking Him for His blessing upon us that will never end.

I live and work for weeks on end without using a single paper bill, or handling a single coin, the economy hasn’t skipped a beat.

If coinage totally disappeared from the world nobody would even care or notice.

Not only does the coinage stack up in coin operated machines but also in the desk drawers, and kids banks and collections also a lot of coins are lost.

Considering the astronomical number of coins circulating in the U.S. now, will most likely still be in circulation for 20 years or more to come. The Government could take the money spent on coin production and re-allocate it to much more needed areas that can actually help the American Citizens.
Just my opinion.
