<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1231551, member: 28971&quot;]The fact that the gov&#039;t is spending over half a million dollars (I read $650,000 in the latest issue of CoinWorld) just to build an addition to the Fed reserve in Dallas, to house the &#039;overflow&#039;, shows that there SHOULD be an end to minting these, at least for general circulation, and make them specifically for collectors, much like the Kennedy half.&nbsp; It&#039;s like putting an addition on your house just because you have too many clothes to fit in your closet.&nbsp; The American public has shown they just don&#039;t like the dollar coin, and that was proven back in 1979-1980, with the SBA.&nbsp; If the gov&#039;t wants us to use the $1 coin, then they absolutely have to stop printing the $1 note, period...if not, they&#039;ll be building more additions to house the coins that haven&#039;t even been minted yet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see these ever becoming an &#039;investment&#039; vehicle (but, and thats a BIG &#039;but&#039;...IF they rise due to discontinuation, I do have two sets of FDCC&#039;s from the mint for every issue...one gets opened for my Dansco, and the other gets put into a box, and put away).&nbsp; No coin should be collected for that purpose...not circulating coinage, anyway.&nbsp; JMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
