1. Why do you think that the Susan B. Anthony one dollar coin never caught on? More specifically, why are one dollar coins in general not so popular? Will the one dollar coins of 2007 become a replacement for the one-dollar note? Please note that in Europe the one Euro and two Euro coins are very popular and there are no one or two Euro notes at all.
2. What impact on the economy, if any, do you think having a new Federal Reserve Chairman will have? Why?
3. The City of Santa Monica (California) passed regulations forbidding banks from charging customers from other banks for ATM use. Do you think this regulation is good for the banking consumer? For the banks?
4. Are you currently worried about inflation? Or deflation for that matter? Why did the Fed raise interest rates in January 2006? Or how much power do you think the Federal Reserve Chairperson has? Do you think Alan Greenspan did a good job trying to get the economy onto a growth path?
