S. 1105: Dollar Coins or Paper Dollars?
by Clifford Johnson
Coin or paper?
What a caper!
One is proper,
one a whopper.
![1862 $1 Legal Tender Note](http://coinsblog.ws/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/US_1_1862_Legal_Tender-300x127.jpg)
Drastic
is what’s inelastic,
plastic
more than gold’s fantastic.

What is copper
to a shopper,
what a penny?
One too many.

Paper powers
golden showers,
yet isn’t ours!
But a buck round
is square and sound.

One is proper,
one a whopper.
Coin or paper?
What a caper!
What a caper!
One is proper,
one a whopper.
