As some of you may know, there was an article regarding a massive, growing hoard of unused Presidential and Native American Dollars. Which can be located here: http://www.cointalk.com/t183540/ The bottom line appeared to be: Will congress take notice, and enact new legislation to decrease the required production numbers for each type of dollar? Well, the answer to that question appears to be yes: http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/
Why yes? Because we simply refuse to use them. Why? Because we're Americans...just because every other country uses $ coins (or equivalent), why should WE have to??
