<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiftypee, post: 148128, member: 4700&quot;]hello folks!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always gotten the impression too that many people from the US see their dollar as being very &quot;significant&quot; and worth something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being that the US dollar has been used all over the world, perhaps the US mint has to create a dollar that has the &quot;psychological&quot; affect of making the public that think that it holds the same significance that the dollar bill has generated in the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have heard over the years these things seem to make people not like a dollar coin.</p><p>1. Similarity in size and design to the US quarter.</p><p>2. Having it look like something made of copper.</p><p>3. Too heavy to carry (i.e. those IKE dollars).</p><p><br /></p><p>What if the US made a bi-metallic coin?&nbsp; It would easily distinquishable, and it would have elements of &quot;silver like&quot; quality if they used cupronickel for the outer rim, and in the center portion they could do a copper or aluminum bronze compositon.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know the answer, but this is just ANOTHER suggestion. :goofer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
