> Another reason coins may not replace paper money so fast in the USA is coins are made by the US Gov't at their mints.Paper money is issued by The Federal Reserve which is not part of the US Gov't.US Gov't hasn't backed the paper money since the 1970's when what is now call Silver Certificates were discontinued.

Coins and currency are both produced by the US Mint.
There is no shortage of one dollar coins; the Mint is in fact producing more of them than there is demand for; newly minted dollar coins are going into storage in hopes than one day they'll be needed.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
