Yet, I think time is approaching to discard paper $1 bills, and replace with dollar coins. Consider that CPI has doubled since 1984, meaning that todays dollar has the same purchasing power as 50cents had in '84.(I don't recall anyone complaining about carrying around a couple of qtrs. back then).
Your thoughts.....
