United States Mint Notice Meetings: Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee FR Document: 2018-15986 Citation: 83 FR 35535 PDF Page 35535 (1 page) Permalink Abstract: Pursuant to United States Code, the United States Mint announces the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) public meeting scheduled for July 31, 2018. Date: July 31, 2018. Time: 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST. Location: This meeting will occur via teleconference. Interested members of the public may dial in to listen to the meeting at (866) 564-9287/Access Code: 62956028. Subject: Review and discussion of candidate designs for the 2018 $1 coin that will introduce a new series of dollar coins...
Will these have the same metallic composition as the Native American & US Presidential series? Because that would be a bad idea. If they non-circulating and only for collectors, why not silver?
Silver, platinum, gold, who needs them? Nobody wanted the first series why create a second? $ money for the mint?
Not that great, first you have to find a bank that actually has dollar coins, and then you're looking for coins that aren't being made for circulation. Yes some will show up eventually but if I wanted them it would just be SO much easier to buy them.
Do you really are going to take question and listen to you? I think they have an agenda of there own, and Don"to give a dam about pubic participation!
Since they don't circulate, they don't need to make millions of these coins. Make enough to sell to collectors (proofs?) and make a profit. (100,000-300,000 mintage would keep the demand at almost 100%.) They could sell these dollar coins for $9.99 easy.
They're going to secretly get rid of the dollar bill while we are all fighting over what the new design of the dollar coin will be!!!
Of course not. While it would make sense, that did not happen the past couple of times when new $1 series were launched ... Christian
I know it won't happen. Americans are too stubborn for that. We love our bills! (Or used to!) I hope they bring back a nice fat Ike Like dollar (keep wishing!).
I thought my question was crystal clear. I even made the poster's text bold for emphasis. Since the poster was suggesting silver and the mint is already making the ASE in a $1 denomination, was he thinking that the ASE should be scrapped?
As for the actual topic - the CCAC meeting and discussion - see here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-us-dollar-coins-whats-the-problem.320815/page-4#post-3149302 Christian
Something the size of the Ike dollar would have to be a $5 coin. Even that is too large. They can stop making halves and that size could be a $5 coin. (Slightly larger so there's no vending machine/toll confusion.) Eliminate the dollar bill (and the 2) and take 1 billion dollar coins out of storage and into circulation. That's fine for a start, and they can just go on minting dollar, and even $2 coins.
