   It would make much more sense to end production of $1 bills   
   and ramp up $2 bills (which cost the USA the same to make)   
   and $1 coins (which last longer than bills) and 50-cent coins   
   but actual sense has always been a weak point for Trump;   
   as it is,he'll just leave people scrounging for exact change.
