<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 363668, member: 4626&quot;]Am I just being cynical in thinking that the Mint is desperately trying to come up with as many ways of possible to get money from the president dollars to justify their existance, since they&#039;re not really circualting much and people are getting sick of them?&nbsp; Or is that just me?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not like some who say they should be discontinued... I actually like the idea, in theory, even though I believe it will never be a practically circulating coin (nor will any 1 dollar coin, as long as a paper 1 dollar bill still exists), but it&#039;s starting to annoy me how persistant the Mint is being in trying to push every possible permutation of these things.&nbsp; It&#039;s almost to level of pathetically begging people to buy them... &quot;Please, we have millions of these things to get rid of!&nbsp; Come on, you&#039;ll pay $20 for this coin in a fancy folder, right?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll pay face value for 1 each of the business strikes for my collection... and I buy the proof set every year anyway that incidentally contains these in proof, but that&#039;s it!&nbsp; Not going to get the coin and first lady medal set, the individual presidential proof set, the dollar set, first day cover, this thing now, and whatever else they dream up to stick these things into.&nbsp; Enough is enough already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
