Johnnie is the co-sponsor of a bill named Currency Optimization, Innovation and National Savings, the COINS Act. In this he wants to move to the dollar coin. Is this guy a nimrod or what? After all the futile attempts to push the dollar coin as a new member of the fiat currency market he just doesn't get it. People haven't and still don't want it. His claim that it'll save $13.8B over 30 years is an asinineargument. Hey Johnnie, want to save $30B in a year? Bring our troops home and quit stirring the pot trying to create the next round of "terrorists" for us to attack. You spew these words about "American Interests" yet you NEVER listen to the American people. Hey dumb-ass, WE DON'T WANT IT!

It has been reported that 76% of Americans do not want this coin but that means nothing to that RINO. Johnnie's logic for this is so strippers can make larger tips. Are you kidding me? We all know that you have switched parties but your desires are so far outside the norm that I believe you may need a psychological evaluation.

If your true desire is to reduce the cost of money production why don't you just back existing laws and license private firms for the production of the valueless currency? Most don't know this but prior to the 20th century private production of currency was commonplace. Still today this is in practice in Hong Kong, Scotland, Ireland, and Macao. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the free markets to print out the fiat currency where we could introduce competition, bring innovation and take away the monopoly in currency production. I would bet that this would likely save more money over 30 years than the creation of some coin. Come on Johnnie, for once show some sense.

So folks, if you don't want those heavy coins jingling in your pocket be sure to call or email your federal representatives and let them know this is a hugely BAD idea. Tell them to say NO to the COINS Act. There is another good article about this here.
