Environmental Advantage
People argue that carrying around dollar coins is a waste of time and would only weigh down their purses or wallets. But replacing the dollar bill with the coin would save taxpayers a estimated 4.4 billion over the next 30 years. Would you rather save billions over the next couple years, or refuse the dollar coin because it is heavy? Switching to the dollar coin would not only benefit the American citizens but also help our environment. The amount of waste produced in shredding of old notes is equal to the amount of trash that 345,000 Americans create in a year. Can you imagine that? The amount of trash that 345,000 Americans produce a year is equal to the amount of notes we shred. It is more beneficial to switch to the dollar coin. Not only would America be saving on expenses, but it would help with the pollution.

Many people say that it would cost money for the vending machines to update to take dollar coins. But vending machines and mass transit system administrators actually embrace this switch. This is because, if the dollar coin was to replace the dollar bill, it would make their transition much easier.
