    "American Innovation" $1 coins commemorating innovation and innovators from each state, each U.S. territory, and the District of Columbia. Treasury shall issue four coins per year... Treasury may mint and issue a $1 coin in 2018 to introduce the series.

    These again would be non-circulating coins like the Native American Dollars (which would also continue to be minted and not circulated).

    Seems like a waste to me unless they phase out the paper dollar...

    I doubt they will be for general circulation. Another ho-hum commemorative series ordered by the US Mint micro managers in Congress.

    56 states and territories featured at 4 per year will take them 14 years to get though the proposed series. I wish they would do them 10 per year so the program would be done before I’m 35.

    We need to figure out how to bypass the lobbyists for the paper money paper companies so we can dump the $1 bill for coins.... and the penny while we're at it.

    This is the thing that coin collectors seem to always forget, it’s not the lobbyists it’s the public. The public by and large prefers paper money, it’s easier to carry and fits in a wallet. Only a percentage of collectors have any real interest in getting rid of the dollar bill for coins which by the way are much easier to counterfeit.

    If this program ever comes to fruition, I would suggest minting a silver edition for the dollar coin to be included in the silver proof sets.

    Why couldn't they put this on the dime instead? I know it's small but it also circulates. It's just another Mint product that makes me get all excited, shaking from head to toe, in anticipation of nothing to get excited about.

    I don’t really care if it circulates or not, but I really don’t care as long as it’s the terrible golden dollars

    The $1 bill isn’t going anywhere. The public doesn’t want dollar coins and won’t use them. It’s questionable if they ever have. If they did, why have there been bank bags full of uncirculated silver dollars from years gone by found in Treasury vaults?

    When I was overseas in the Army in the early 1980's a dollar bill was a sight to see. The government shipped all those SBA's to us and made us use them.

    I think there's a country in South America that uses our dollar coins too. Forget who it is....Panama maybe?
