[QUOTE="skrilla, post: 69292, member: 3404"]keep in mind part of what people didnt like about SBA's was the fact that they were constantly mixed up with quarters. things that would make a dollar coin plausible are 1. make the coin somewhat smaller, the sacs are too big to carry alot of, any more than quarters. 2. make them a different color. people call them gold, and the color yellow on a metal adds a a fake sense of value(IE: collecting circulated coins that had a mintage of 800million). a copper colored coin would work. 3. the shape should be changed from a standard circle to something like a decagon(10 flat sides). not too many sides of course, but enough of a shape difference to alert people to its value. 4. a nice picture of liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. theres no way to go wrong with one of our nations oldest symbols, she graces the platinum coins anyway....right?[/QUOTE]
