Save the Greenback
Template:Short description Save the Greenback is an organization of U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing employees and paper and ink suppliers opposed to phasing out the paper dollar.[1] The group formed to counter the influence of the Coin Coalition.[2] Their website was inactive as of July 2012.
Public opinion has tended to favor the dollar bill, although in 2000, the Government Accountability Office reported that a full implementation of the dollar coin could save $500 million a year.[3]
Americans for George
There was an online organization calling itself Americans for George. It was a public-relations campaign appearing to be a grassroots organization (an "Astroturf group").[4] Their website was also inactive as of July 2012.
Portrayal in media
In 2006 and 2007, auto manufacturer Kia Motors used this name in a car discount campaign. In the TV campaigns, the group was portrayed as a group similar to Greenpeace, with a mission to save money.[5][6]
