Switching to $1 coins

Recently, the government has proposed a new plan.  One to eliminate the $1 bill, and switch to the $1 coin.  They say it can save us $522 million per year, or $5.5 billion in 30 years.  But do we really want to trade all of our bills for coins?  Do you really think that American citizens are just going to give up the dollar bill to carry around 3 pounds of change everywhere?  What happens when you go to a strip club?  Do you throw change at the dancers?  I say just keep the bill.  It's the governments fault that we are in all this debt.  Let them figure out another way to get us out of it.  Part of their reasoning for switching to the $1 coin instead of just keeping the bill, is because it would save money.  They say that the dollar coin will last longer than the dollar bill.  Not really.  Do you know how often I loose change?  Or find it in the couch cushions?  And what do they plan on making these coins out of?  Hopefully they won't be to similar to quarters, because we, the citizens, will actually be losing money.  Say someone goes to McDonald's and gets a cheeseburger.  Their total is $1. 27.  So, they fish through their pockets to get some money, and pay with two $1 coins, and two pennies.  We have just overspent by 75 cents, {probably not realizing it} making the government richer.  Maybe that's what they want.  I say CONSPIRACY!
