And we should have a $2 coin too, that people actually USE, unlike the ever-elusive $2 bill. I think we may be the only developed country that doesn't use coins for those small amounts.Bridgetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709723619816973092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743404108902680939.post-15148496251590277902009-01-07T16:24:00.000-07:002009-01-07T16:24:00.000-07:00Great points!

Cotton & Linen are certainly more rapidly renewable than tree pulp but still not as long lasting. thanks for the info!CSD Faux Finishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947691876538206892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743404108902680939.post-58039217722559017322009-01-06T21:42:00.000-07:002009-01-06T21:42:00.000-07:00i looked it up...paper money is 25% linen and 75% ...i looked it up...paper money is 25% linen and 75% cotton.<BR/><BR/>now that that's settled, i prefer the coins anyway. i don't know why people have such a problem with them. i haven't seen the special series though.disabled accounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540062415882767130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743404108902680939.post-59834555635371039632009-01-06T21:38:00.000-07:002009-01-06T21:38:00.000-07:00isn't paper money made from cotton?isn't paper money made from cotton?disabled accounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540062415882767130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743404108902680939.post-23310278166619534092009-01-06T15:33:00.000-07:002009-01-06T15:33:00.000-07:00The Presidential Dollars are the same size, shape,...The Presidential Dollars are the same size, shape, and composition of the Sacagawea Dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743404108902680939.post-22795103234871616592009-01-06T14:27:00.000-07:002009-01-06T14:27:00.000-07:00Interesting post, Jenn.
