The Next Dollar Coin Series

Well, I bet all those people can get a group discount from the optometrist.

This is like when you go roller skating and they play "The Hokey Pokey". Everyone is out there doing it saying "this is fun". So the DJ then thinks, let's do it again... Half the people who just did it the first time leave thinking the once was enough. Then the DJ plays it a third time, and then.... That's when the guy gets fired... I think we need to change DJ's at the mint.

 

More like how the President dollars did, I'm afraid.

 

@messydesk , you're probably right.

 

Sooner or later there will be more Dollar coins in vaults than Gold in Ft. Knox, Ky.

 

The problem isn't so much the DJs at the mint, but a Capitol building full of Biebers.

 

Dollar coins will only get used regularly if dollar bills cease production. I still remember when the presidential dollar coins first came out they did a huge promotion in town with a mobile change dispensing machine. If you changed in a $20 bill for 20 dollar coins, you got a free tshirt. "But please spend them and don't save them," they said...

 

I hate to say it but I’m uninspired. The idea could have potential but I’m pretty confident that the coins won’t fail to disappoint. I wish that they issued 10 a year so that they’d be done in six years.

 

I wouldn’t mind a new dollar coin series if they actually get used in circulation. If they are phasing out dollar bills or moving all vending to dollar coins, then this could work. If not, this will follow same course as presidential dollars and Native American dollars. TC

 

They've got to have a reason to keep charging nearly $25 for mint sets! As long as they keep doing these multi-coin series, they can keep charging the exhorbitant prices. With the cent/nickel/dime/4x quarter/half/sac-dollar and then 4 "invention" dollars, in that awful blister-pack 6"x7" design, that's 26 coins in a mint set. And I'm sure they'll find a reason to continue the multi-quarter series when the ATB series ends.

If they were to go back to a normal 10-coin cellophane mint set, they'd have to drop the prices back down to a reasonable $12 per set. But of course they can't do that! Even though sales of mint sets MIGHT return back to pre-2000 levels.
