    The dollar coin option is important poll

    We are more at risk if they don't wake up & pay attention.... continued 4th --- The clearly more costly "for the taxpayers" to make "quarters" were both diligently & gleefully stocked by banks during this same 2000 - 2011 period. Also the quarters were & continue to be more costly to transport...

    The dollar coin option is important poll

    We are more at risk if they don't wake up & pay attention.... Ted, Mep, Earl, & PC (they need this the most :), Let's be fair --- you well intentioned people & others are leaving out key points. This is what Lisa Myers & some of her colleagues who interviewed Pomeroy & others in a similar way...

    Good Money Must Meet Four Essential Criteria

    Compelling Perspective!!! William P. Pitzer, That is one of the most truthful & well put presentations about "medium of exchanges" that I have ever read. It was not overly watered down --- it got right to the point. My dear mother who had some aunts & uncles & many first cousins who were...

    Not a good time to own a car wash in Florida

    Balancing the positive with the corrective sometimes just baby steps Mac & others, If they had "broadened" the sales tax beyond just the wax on Florida car washes --- I can't help but think the situation you described would be aggravated even worse. Even though Florida is known much more of...

    Need help: source for CCTV transmitter

    Mark, Just a thought ---- if you had IP cameras it seems like you could use a 5 port ethernet switch with "line of sight" wifi antennas --- at that point you would have those 4 cameras accessible on your computer screen. MJ

    Hard mount or soft mount?

    Jon, I know this is kind of a hypothetical --- let's say there is a washer-extractor available that was USA made that was also price competitive with the Continental & proven to be low maintenance --- that had 800G. The energy consumption was also the same as the Continental or less. Based on...

    Central Vac Use in Bays?

    Another example of Canandian Wisdom! Kevin, That makes sense. It basically is exactly how our wet dry vacs are set up for our 2 stall dog wash. The noise is greatly muffled --- almost non existent! Even if they can do a central vac with a VFD --- like Kevin says ---it still would need to...

    Central Vac Use in Bays?

    Earl & others, I wonder if Variable Frequency Drive motors could be used with a central vacuum system? It would be interesting if anyone on the forum has enough expertise or has actual experience with a vacuum applied VFD. MJ

    hose patching

    txheat, With the more common HP hydraulic hose actually running over a couple hundred psi --- you could use reusable hydraulic fittings & get by without crimping. Like IB Washin alluded to there are a lot of variables. We only do it in an area where it would be more difficult to replace the...

    Do you remember driving one of these?

    Bill P, The '56 chevy was one that one of my sister had & she let me use it during one of our high school "homecoming" events. There are some "Buggies & Blues" events here in Bismarck-Mandan every year. Almost every Wednesday evening during the summer a "drive in restaurant" one block away...

Let's see ----- What is a good anecdote to the people serious about making it so the USA has no dollar coin or who are party to making it less available.

    The dollar coin option is important poll

    Pat & others, This has been our experience & it still reflects the current status. If fact, the weight of the quarters vs the dollar coins is a problem. We have a very good relationship with the local US Bank so they actually have been known to call us --- if they themselves run out of...

    The dollar coin option is important poll

    Reds & others, For one thing --- the McDonald's & others would be more than happy to accommodate their hard fought for customer ---- out the dollar coins if asked if they had them. They probably would not have them because of the "systemic" problem of most USA banks requiring the preordering...

    The dollar coin option is important poll

    Based on our experience info --- the dollar coin option Earl & others, If you & others just have the narrow focus of the 1,5,10 bill acceptors in the bays in a climate where doors (greater wetness) are not necessary --- you might have a point. We find that we actually do gain some overall...
