The decline of the native Cutthroat trout of the American West was caused by decades of wholesale slaughter by Colorado pioneers and the artificial introduction of competing non-native trout species like brooks, rainbows, and browns.
At this point Greenbacks are still struggling on a survival level; they are still very rare and inaccessible to the public.
Any excess funds would be used to pursue the Foundation’s objectives of promoting freshwater education and sustainable development; this would include supporting educational visits to the property by students; establishing scholarships for students studying aspects of native freshwater ecosystems and resource management; and providing small grants for environmental and development organizations in Colorado.

Beattie pointed out that the true benefits of recovery efforts for endangered species cannot be measured only in dollars and cents, because they have broad benefits for human health and the environment.

 CoinBrowser.com :: United States Dollar
The failure to simultaneously withdraw the dollar bill (the Save the Greenback Act of 1995 banned its phasing out) and weak publicity efforts have been cited by coin proponents as primary reasons for the failure of the dollar coin to gain popular support.
Banknotes' nicknames are usually the same as their values (such as five, twenty, etc.); however, the $1 bill is often called a single, and the $100 bill has gotten the nickname benjamin (after the portrait of Benjamin Franklin that it bears).
Greenback simply describes the traditional (remarkably invariable) design of banknotes issued by the United States Federal Reserve, and is not used for coins or dollars of other countries.

 Regional Review: Observations
Replacement of the dollar bill could save the government an estimated $2.28 billion over five years.
The savings stem from greater durability: Coins cost more, but circulate an estimated seventeen times longer than bills.
The withdrawal of the bill thus seems necessary for a dollar coin to succeed, and for the government and vendors to reap the resulting benefits.

The generation of fiat money, which is produced without work—how much more work is involved in producing a $100 bill as opposed to a $1 dollar bill?—dilutes that which has been saved and that which has been promised for future payment.
They are then able to act without the consent of the citizenry, which, if consulted, would probably allocate their savings differently.
Because improving one’s lot requires the accumulation of wealth, and because it is not economic to save fiat currency, the poor tend to stay poor.

 Peter Cooper, Ideas for Good Government
It is inexcusable, because the Government should issue the currency, as it does the greenback, and thus save an enormous bounty, taxed upon the non-bondholding masses, thus violating that equality and justice it is the duty of the Constitution to preserve.
Had this been continued with the unfluctuating measure of all values, thousands of millions of dollars would have been saved to the American people, which have now been lost, giving us instead national demoralization as a recompense for the unconstitutional, invalidating financial laws, that have been passed.
Congress should not adjourn, until it has established a Postal Savings Bank, by which the Government should receive on deposit the savings of the people at a low rate of interest, say two and a half per cent., or $3.65.

The reason is determined opposition from a coalition of lobbying interests known as "Save the Greenback."
