    Probably the largest coin club in the world is located in NYC - the American Numismatic Society.

    am numismatic society

    am. numismatic society is just like a big, old library. a lot of old coin books and references there. aside this. can see anyone there. it prove that new york city is not a coin collecting city or place. the population is mostly came from all over the world. they mostly don't collect coins.

    Circulated Rolls

    i bought $200.00 circulated dollars. inside, i got 40% au+ presidential dollars. 10% susan anthony and 50% sacagawea mostly dated year 2000. only few pieces dated 2001. anyway. i can use them now. for uncirculated. i hold some 33 rolls of washington and 28 rolls of john adams. hopefully get some jefferson and madison too. that's it for presidential series. the rest. i won't collect them.

    They have encouraged them to swap over their machines for years and the operators haven't done so. It isn't like it is difficult to make the change, flip a switch, turn a screw, slide a plate over and turn the screw back. Five or six seconds. There you go, machine is ready for dollar coins. (Every machine made in the past 28 years comes equipt with a changer that can handle the dollar coins. There probably aren't too many machines out there that are close to 30 years old, and if they are they have probably had their change mechanisms changed during the past 28 years.

    Maybe try to convince the manufacturers to ship the machine out already set to accept dollar coins so the operators would have to deliberately switch them to reject them..

    All the machines around here take dollar coins. The problem is they don't give them back in change.
    Buy a $1 pop with a five...you get 16 quarters back.....Dumb.

    At least you get actual money back and not a vending machine credit. LOL

    sac dollar

    the b.e.p. still printing the $1.00 bill series 2006. with signature, henry paulson jr. on it. the new secretary of the treasury. maybe the mint should produce 30 mil for each president and 40 mil sac dollar per year. that will be enough.

    If they make 12 million presidents per year they have to make 6 million Sacs, which is about 2 million per year more than the collectors demand. So the Sacs would STILL pile up at the mint.

    If they did that, why would anyone every buy them at a premium plus shipping? Just wait until after the ordering period and buy them at face plus shipping and save $10 per roll.

    open new mini store

    the mint should open up two mini stores in manhattan, new york. one located at times squares and one at 5th ave near central park or rockefeller center. right now millions of tourist travel to new york. streets were full of people all over the world. this is a good ideas for the u.s. mint to sell all products that they have.

    That's not gonna help. There was an article on coinflation where some klutz robber stole a whole load of "Golden" Dollars thinking they were real gold!!

    Solve two problems at once: Welfare is paid out in Dollar Coins AND hopefully discourage folks from playing the system when all they get for the cash portion of their lot is Dollar Coins. Get dirty looks at the bank/store when they try to cash them in for paper dollars to boot!!

    Instead of spending for promotion, the mint should use those funds to sell dollar coins for less than face. Unlimited quantities to banks, limited to individuals.

    Then let Gresham's Law take over and chase the paper dollar from circulation.

    Was at Walmart not to long ago and instead of getting dollar bills back I ask for the gold dollars instead. The lady working told me NO and that she could not give those out. I am still trying to get the blank stare off my face.....
