SO WHO'S LOONIE?

  Myron Xenos writes: "Dave's spin of the Loonie and the
  U.S. dollar coins was interesting.  However, I have a
  counter-theory, encompassing two thoughts:

  1.  Certain politicians and the Crane Co. of Massachusetts
       don't want to give up the lucrative paper business

  2.  Add up all the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea
       dollars that were minted.  Where are they?  Sitting
       in drawers, boxes, bags, the Treasury, etc.  They cost
       around 3  to 5 cents each to coin, and go into the
       Treasury at $1 each.  I wish I could do that...."
