The Treasury Department recently issued a new $1 Sacajawea coin, which is only available at banks and Wal-Mart. What do you think about the government making Wal-Mart an exclusive outlet for U.S. currency?
“That’s convenient for me, because there’s a Wal-Mart right near the Burger King where I pick up my mail.”

“This streamlines the circulation process by starting off U.S. currency in the place it’s all eventually spent.”

“It seems appropriate, as Sacajawea was instrumental in opening up the West to competition-crushing retail chain stores.”
George Giroux • Auto Mechanic
“I just got the exact same Sacajawea coin over at Target for 89 cents.”
Danielle Voss • Homemaker
“Wal-Mart’s selling Sacajawea coins? Say, that reminds me, I need a new answering machine and some garbage bags.”

“What better way to honor this great Native American than to restrict her movement to a handful of small, white-controlled locations?”
