Isn't our money something that should remain constant?
Can't we keep what we got? I liked the Suzy B's just fine. They should have kept them. They were ideal for vending machines. Great when you cash a five dollar bill instead of a million quarters and nickels.
First there were the big heads, then the different colors; they changed the quarters and then the nickels.
Now they want a multitude dollar coins. One for each President. I can't wait for the Hillary coin ! Oh Boy.

I can understand changing the dollar bills due to counterfeiting issues but the coin won't work. It's just a waste of money!!!

Disagree. With the changes and advances in technology it has become increasingly easy to counterfeit money. The only responsible thing the mint can do is keep modifying the money, adding features that are hard to duplicate.
As for the "Suzy B's", those were a disaster from the start. Some idiot at the mint decided to make a dollar coin the same size as a quarter. Not too confusing. The gold color one that came out a couple of years ago was an improvement but it has never really caught on. The presidential version is a way, they hope, to generate interest and get people to use it so they can eventually move away from paper one dollar notes.

I think it's a cool idea. Plus the article I read said it is cheaper to coin money rather than print it. The last two dollar coins were not that popular, but look at the success of the state quarter program. This will be similar except featuring presidents rather than states. I don't think that change in our currency is bad. That changes for the paper money were for security/anti-counterfeiting purposes. I think that making more coinage denominations is for convenience.

Counterfeiters are smarter today and they have access to some sophisticated equipment. To keep our money safe from counterfeiters the money is changed. The faster the ccounterfeiters change the quicker the government has to change the money.
