<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kiyardo, post: 112554, member: 1920&quot;]I think the series will fail as well for the following reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>1)&nbsp; The paper dollar is still in circulation. People won&#039;t give that up for these dollars</p><p>2)&nbsp; The series is spread out waaaay too long. Over 11 years, people will get bored with the program, especially considering that design possibilities are extremely limited with this program.</p><p>3)&nbsp; It&#039;s a dollar, 4 times the value of a quarter. It will be 4 times more expenseive to obtain the circulated coins for numismatists.</p><p>4)&nbsp; The concept by it&#039;s nature is incomplete. The set will never be complete unless the nation its self fails. We&#039;ll never have ALL the presidents, only the ones that are dead by two years before the program ends. They may as well do the living ones too. </p><p>5)&nbsp; The US mint ALREADY has a presidnential medal program.&nbsp; In fact, recent suggestions for the designs were based from the exact designs used from these medals. </p><p>6)&nbsp; The Sacagawea dollar will still be &quot;in circulation&quot; while th eprogram is going on. This is strange since the Mint stopped issueing the Sacagawea dollar in 2002. It failed, yet they are bringing it back because of political pressure from state representatives along Lewis &amp; Clark&#039;s trail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
