<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kookoox10, post: 1336197, member: 31129&quot;]Me personally, if the government made a coin that was slightly smaller, maybe put in 20% silver, and not base it on the overused &quot;presidential&quot; theme. I think it would have been a hit. Canada and other nations that have adopted a $1 coin has made it work because they did think outside the box and just implement it without dragging it into legislation for 3 years. I think the main driver is to create a coin that would win over the public&#039;s emotional appeal. A gold toned dollar with the gaudiest designs won&#039;t do that in my opinion. It never won me over because the US mint never consulted with me or the public about the program and what it can do to enhance our monetary system. The US mint probably doesn&#039;t believe in focus groups using real people to test their products, and that&#039;s a shame...&nbsp; Sorry about the rant, I&#039;m maybe just a little bitter because the program was a huge waste of resources and money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
