<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 73118, member: 2761&quot;]This weekend I attended my nephew&#039;s Pop Warner football game.&nbsp; During it, I used a Kennedy Half Dollar to purchase some snacks.&nbsp; You wouldn&#039;t believe the commotion I created as most there never saw one before!?!&nbsp; One person said it looked like Martin Sheen, the actor from West Wing.&nbsp; I just explained, it was the same party in office.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bring this up as the idea of 4 Presidents per year on a coin nobody is going circulate will be a nightmare.&nbsp; These coins will look like a 3rd world country &quot;banana republic&quot; where images of their leaders are on their coinage for the sole pupose of showing the population who is in charge.</p><p><br /></p><p>So...if I were to use these coins at the next Pop Warner football game, I better have a secret service agent with me explaining to the brain trust that Garfield was an actual US President and the coin she/he is holding is worth a dollar.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Can you picture this?&nbsp; Talk about adding confusion to day-to-day transactions, but then again, as long as we are stupid enough to spend $500 million per year printing $1 notes that last no more than 16 months, what do you expect?&nbsp; You can&#039;t have a successful dollar coin and dollar bill circulating at the same day.&nbsp; It will NEVER work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Been there, done that, tried it with the Peace, IKE, SBA and now the SAC.&nbsp; All circulation failures![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
