Dollar Coin
- Share via
Regarding your editorial (“Common Cents,” March 24), I have developed a simple method to help Los Angeles save the $4 million it claims it costs to count the dollar bills collected on bus fares.
Call me and I will pick up the uncounted fare. I will then separate $1 million, which will then be neatly packaged and returned to the city. It is now $5 million ahead and hasn’t had to do more than make a simple phone call. I plan to also propose this system to the U.S. government to save more millions that it must cost to count collected taxes.
