It could happen but not the way they are doing it. They need to revamp the entire line of coinage and add a new dollar, 2 dollar and 5 dollar coins, and perhaps make them real silver clads, or even bimetal faces. That would likely do it.

Of course it would help to remove the dollar bill.

All it takes is a little patience. Just let these coins circulate for a while. They'll turn green on their own, that is IF they ever make it to circulation.

Until they do that - it will never happen.

My daughter has a friend who works in a bank and there has been some discussion within that organization about removing the dollar bill. Seems that this particular bank is giving out a lot of two dollar bills to get people ready for a change down the road. How handing out a $2 bill in place of two $1 bills is going to change peoples habits and decreases dependence on the single is beyond me....you're still feeding peoples dependence on paper. If you'd just slip 'em a few of these new Sac's and when they complain tell 'em "oh, sorry, we're fresh out of singles. Have to give you these pretty little Indian maiden coins". Pretty soon folks would get used to it.

I agree that it looks strange without the date and mint mark on the obverse. As far as an eagle being on alot of our coins, well, its pretty much for the most part, the way its always been and probably will continue to be. The Eagle is a symbol of America in alot of different ways, so they put it on American coins. Personally, I'd rather have some representation of an Eagle on our coins than what these "artists" are coming up with.

This is AWFUL

Are you sure this isn't some kind of terrible joke?

indianhead

Yea, I wish it was.

schroeder2246

That's really upsetting.

I hope this coin turns into the 2 dollar bill and disappears from circulation.

mgChevelle

that is the ugliest coin the united states has ever issued, in my opinion.
if they want a dollar coin to circulate, wouldn't it help to have an appealing design, i think a more classic design would be better.

the official new name = the poop dollar.

So what was so wrong with the eagle reverse. I thought that it was one of the better looking eagles on our coins. The new sac fits in with the pres. dollars that look like casino tokens, IMO.

They should use the Bald Eagle silver dollar has the basis for a $1 dollar coin. Keep the Sac composition, but make it bi-metal with a nickel clad center and the bronze rim. Wish someone could Photoshop it!!!

I like the Sac comp,but I don't think it ages well on the main center of the coins. Cost and look make sense, so I think think the bi-metal version would solve this and make a novel coin.
