<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 278382, member: 8033&quot;]NumisMatty,</p><p><br /></p><p>I can imagine that is strange to you. Other countries have pulled off the larger denomination coins seemingly without a hitch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I have no use for anything larger than a quarter in my pocket and have made it well known that i have absolutely no use for a dollar coin when I can fold up a piece of paper and use that in it&#039;s stead.</p><p><br /></p><p>This makes me wonder if maybe the U.S. is going about this all in the wrong way. When the mint comes out with a new coin they hype the hell out of it to generate interest. It works with collectors but, on the other hand, works with non-collectors as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you end up with is a bunch of people who basically know nothing about coins hoarding coins that retain a whopping face value. This is all hypothetical of course but my brain just jumped on&nbsp; to this track.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this were indeed the case the U.S. mint should just make a coin, plain as hell that basically reads ONE DOLLAR. No historical figures, no recurrent themes, no history - just a coin worth a buck.</p><p><br /></p><p>People might actually use those. I still wouldn&#039;t most likely but it&#039;s an idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
