<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 73343, member: 66&quot;]There is no way it could be as popular as the state quarters.&nbsp; Hard to be popular when almost no one will ever see them.&nbsp; A couple of the reasons why the quarters were so popular was that the quarter, which is the workhorse coin of the economy, was in everyones hands and for the most part had not changed in almost four generations.&nbsp; Very few people alive had ever seen a new quarter in circulation that wasn&#039;t a Washington quarter.&nbsp; So when they saw all these new designs it piqued their interest and they started hoarding and/or collecting them.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the dollar coin on the other hand you have a coin the public does not use, which a significant portion of the population hasn&#039;t even seen.&nbsp; Changing the design on a coin that people do not see, is not going to encourage them to collect them.&nbsp; Before you can get people interested in a coin they have to be using it.&nbsp; And the first step in getting them to use a dollar coin is to withdraw the dollar note.&nbsp; Once you have done that the coin will be circulating and then you won&#039;t HAVE to change the designs to make them popular and encourage their use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
