Correct.
The question wasn't if we should mint more. It was if we should do away with what we have.
Sure, but functionally stopping the production is the main benefit of the decision. It means banks can't order more and the usage will naturally wane away.
I guess I'm saying there's a middle ground that doesn't require invalidating the currency
