Personally, I like this simple, elegant design.

But -- if there are hundreds of thousands of signatures? There might be enough political pressure to make it happen. And yes, lobby our own representatives.

I thought the petition was very well written. In our "national" interests to do this -- not zinc interests, not Penny Production job interests.

I wish I could sign it twice.

That said, President Obama certainly could rally the troops. I'm looking forward to the Republican talking point "Obama wants your piggy bank."

Thats my two cents

What? We already have a dollar coin? And there are millions of them in circulation?

But none of those things will happen because, in addition to actually saving us millions of dollars, currency reform is not an issue that can be used to make your political opponent look like a douche. It's just a rational issue and as we all know, 'Mericans don't like rationality.
