The Perfect Crime

[subplotkudzu]

According to Newsweek the U.S. Mint is holding onto 115 million in Sacajawea dollars for 'inventory' (read: nobody wants to use them). Is there any reason a race of gnomes or mole men haven't broken in to steal these things?

Heh. *I* want to use them, though. They should give them to me!

they were an attempt to duplicate the success of the Loonie, but Americans don't cotton to dollar coins.

It would be easy.

Just stop making dollar bills.

The problem is, the lobby of those making the bills is pretty strong.

The current goal is to make a line of collectible dollar coins to build upon the success of the 50 state quarters project. I don't see how this will get the coins into circulation, mind you, though collectors will be happy.

Maybe if I could use the new dollars for special powers in Magic games....
