Presidential Dollars are overproduced yet no one has any

A teller at the Moraga California Bank of America told me
that he had 600 rolls of Millard Fillmore dollars.

I bought a couple of rolls and have been spending them.

I regularly spend presidential coins, I love watching confused and ignorant people try to figure out what I just handed them.
Confusion +1.

 

I use them all the time, usually at gas stations. A cashier finally asked me about them and I said I was just trying to get them in circulation. She said, "oh, well we don't give them out as change, we take them right to the bank"........ : (

 

I haven't received one of these in circulation for quite sometime now. The stores that I do usual shopping in, refuse to pass them onto customers in change. The Fed has stockpiled these, and I have no clue what they intend to do, except to say " Melt " is in their future. The program was doomed from the start when the mint overestimated the collector interest, as with the State Quarter program, only the market was saturated with the business strikes.

 

I spent one at a coin shop last month and she asked me that.
