q Q Q! and It The new dollar looks like a lot of hard work. Monopoly work at that, needing an Act of Congress, tons of metal, lots of meetings and anticounterfeiting. So much easier just to issue the encrypted q and Q, to be moved around It via WK, Eudora, Wireless Business Solutions, Globalstar to anywhere It reaches. This lump of Copper and Nickel is going to weigh a lot with 10 = the weight of a cellphone. Why carry a cellphone and these coins? Just carry the cellphone which you'll need anyway and cybersend a q or two. <The need is so great that in December 1997, Congress passed a law to create a new dollar coin. That law, entitled "The United States dollar Coin Act of 1997," set into motion a succession of events that culminated in the creation of a new dollar coin... However, it will be the same size as the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, which is 26.5 mm in diameter. The new coin will have similar metallic, anti-counterfeiting properties as current circulating U.S. coins... The Susan B. Anthony dollar is a rounded planchet with an 11-sided inner border and a reeded edge. It is 26.5 mm in diameter, weighs 8.1 g, and 2 mm thick. It has the same composition as the half dollar, quarter, and dime and an outer alloy of 75-percent copper and 25-percent nickel bonded to a core of pure copper.> usmint.gov Mqurice
