<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 69434, member: 2761&quot;]If you add sides (10 as you suggested) to a coin, they will NOT roll down the chute of vending machines much easier than if they were round...hence the reason why a wheel is round instead of it being sided.</p><p><img src="http://www.night.net/tucker/images/caveman.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>SAC&#039;s are just 9% larger in size than a quarter and 43% heavier (8.1 grams versus 5.67 grams).&nbsp; Of course, 4 quarters are almost 3 times heavier than a <u>single</u> SAC.&nbsp; A SAC doesn&#039;t weigh as much as a Kennedy half at 11.5 grams so the weight is right where it has to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the big complaint in the past was that SBA&#039;s looked too much like a quarter (hence they were called Carter quarters) so when SAC&#039;s were issued, a differant color was mandated.&nbsp; If the gold color communicates a false sense of value...good!&nbsp; It needs to look differant in color...not like a penny...not like a nickel, but differant!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I like the gold color and I don&#039;t care if the public is too stupid to figure out what they are holding in their hand.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an idea for the public...pick up that SAC coin and read the reverse.&nbsp; See...is says ONE DOLLAR! </p><p><img src="http://www.toutfait.com/issues/volume2/issue_4/articles/velthuis/image/05_rev_sm.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Now many people will never get it.&nbsp; For instance, the mint spent over $20 million dollars advertising changes just to the $20 bill!&nbsp;&nbsp; If people are too stupid and lazy to understand what they are spending or holding in the hand, TOUGH!</p><p><br /></p><p>But this is all for <b>not</b> IF you still are going to circulate the paper $1 bill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
