The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: NO
Costing much more to mint the first 10 years, savings occur the following 20 years as coins last longer. But the government needs to replace every two paper bills with three coins since the public resists using dollar coins. When the public does not use imposed coins, the government gains an equivalent voluntary tax and inflation increases with uncirculated money. Most of the 2.4 billion $1 coins already minted sit idle in Federal Reserve vaults and production was suspended last year. In an era of increasing use of electronic financial transactions, physical currency rapidly becomes less important for society in any case.
