Feds Change Their Minds

Switching to dollar coins might save less federal money than first thought. The Government Accountability Office says getting rid of paper notes could save $4 billion over 30 years. That's down from an estimate last year that pegged the number at $5.5 billion. And either way, the government would lose money at first to pay for the new coins. Still, GAO says there is a benefit because the coins last longer.
