Grand Rapids, and thus West Michigan where I live, has been tabbed by the federal government as one of four “promotional communities” to promote the new presidential one dollar coins. The Grand Rapids Press has a pretty concise description of the whole thing that you can read here.
Susan B Anthony coin
The gist of it is, our fine federal government has decided that it is once again time to prove that the American public, that is you and I, are too dumb to accept the general distribution and use of the one dollar coin. How do they go about proving this? Well, duh – I already told you, they’ve started a program of four “promotional communities” that will prove that we don’t want to use these things.
