Looks like she is squatting over trying to take a poop.

It's a shame really. Based on the design drawings I really thought this issue was going to be a nice transition from the eagle. I take that back and agree with Kiyardo....looks amateurish.

I agree, I think the reverse looks like some kind of game token. IMO the reverse was always the better half, I guess not anymore.
It was. The whole thing with the dollar coin has been made a joke.

I agree with you Ruben. This whole new Sac program is a disgrace. Of all things Native American they could have picked much better representations of their way of life besides a woman squatting in a field. There are so many other things that would have been much better. I can agree with placing Native American achievments on the reverse such as Jim Thorpe and the Code Talkers from WW2. How about Native American celebrations such as the Sioux Ghost Dance. It shows you how much research was done to put something more attractive on the Sac Dollar.
I think it looks better than I expected. I do think they made a mistake with the choice of lettering font on the reverse.

Don't worry, you've got at least 13 more years of these things an all of those have been proposed. I'm sure they will get around to them.

And WHY are they now using $1 over "One Dollar"?
Dumbing down of America, we can't expect people to be able to READ a denomination anymore so we are slowly switching over to numbers to try and make it easier to understand.

Is the coin still golden-color?
Yes
