Wait a moment.... 2010 Sacagawea dollar? are they still minting these even though they are doing the presidential series?
1 for every 4. (in other words, 20% of the given year's mintage of dollar coins has to be sacagaweas).
Interesting... I did not know that. I thought they had stopped them alltogether. Thanks for the info. So if when I'm at my local bank asking for the latest Presidential dollar, if I ask about new Sacagaweas, would they have them? I mean... I know you said 1 in 4, but they're not so special that I can't find them at the bank.... right? basically my question is just whether or not they would be available at banks like regular Presidential dollars.
My bank doesnt have the 2010 sacs. I ordered a box from the mint website: http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=16063&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=27238 They can also be found in the annual Mint and proof sets if you happen to collect either one of those.
...so far you can only get them from the mint with the direct ship program. the bank will give you a 'space' look if you ask them for the bucks.
The direct ship program is great, costs nothing to look through $250 worth of dollar coins, then go spend the ones you don't keep.
...it's a very good way to get them into circulation! now if we could get some advertising telling the public that these small bucks actually exist AND stop the rag buck, we may have ourselves some dollar coins being spent! :kewl: but we have a congress that won't cooperate. :goof:
hahaha i remember one time when i asked for 25 dollars in pennies... i wish banks allowed video cameras because that look was priceless :bigeyes:
