silver dollar

why not change the sac and prez dollar to silver dollar?. people might like it. it is silver. well. i mean producing a steel dollar plated with silver. 88% steel inside and 12% silver outside. the 12% silver will be composed of 80% silver and 20% copper. it will be look like 1964 kennedy half dollar. what you think?. the intrinsic value is .02736 oz of silver or cost $0.50.

 

Difficult to plant crops standing erect.

News flash, it wasn't the indians who were slaughtered at Little Big Horn.

I don't see where that statement is going. You could just as easily say put more dead white politicians on the reverse because without them the trip would have been meaningless as well. No offense meant against the Chiefs, but I doubt if things would have evenutally been any different no matter who the chiefs were. The only difference would have been the numbers of Indians that died in th process.

 

You just dont get it either, the indians as well as the whites were slaughtered at Little Big Horn, and for the same reason the indians were always killed....for their land. Keep with a topic that you know something about....its obviously not Native American History.

 

I don't get it. Why is the mint is spending all this effort tinkering with the designs (presidents, corn planting, etc) of a coin that unfortunately nobody is using ? Wouldn't it make more sense to focus their efforts toward finding ways to actually get this thing into circulation IMHO the current design of the sac is one of the best to come out of the mint in a heck of a long time.

 

Indians slaughtered at Little Big Horn? I wouldn't call it a slaughter. Roughly 80 killed (An averaged figure of the 36 reported by Sitting Bull and the 136 reported by Red Horse) out of a force of 900 - 1800 or 5 to <10%, vs 268 whites. Sounds to me like the indians did exceptionally well. Somewhere between 4 and 8 cavalry killed for each indian death.

And as for them being killed for their land, of course they were. And it doesn't matter who their leaders were, the slaughter of the indians unfortunately was bound to happen. If you want to consider that any time a clash between the whites and the indians resulted in a slaughter of the indians then maybe instead of an indian warrier on horseback, he should be shown sprawled on the ground next to the horse becaus that was what eventually happened.
