<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onecenter, post: 2115615, member: 8703&quot;]I have heard these arguments since 1977 when the Eisenhower dollar was declared &quot;too big.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It is extremely clear, and not just from an American coinage standpoint, but internationally, the only way to get the dollar coin to circulate is eliminate the currency.&nbsp; The Anthony dollar was supposed to be &quot;the solution.&quot;&nbsp; It was not.&nbsp; It is the most studied coin &quot;failure&quot; in world history, by mint after mint after mint, worldwide.&nbsp; It has also managed to drag a fine American historical figure down into oblivion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Sacagawea and Presidential dollars moved the coin into the next level.&nbsp; The dollar coin still does not circulate.&nbsp; It circulates so little in fact that I have been presented with a dollar coin, often a Washington dollar, that has been received in circulation by a friend or colleague with the question, &#039;what is this?&#039; or &#039;is this worth anything?&#039;&nbsp; That is how badly the dollar coin is viewed in the last 15 years.&nbsp; Meanwhile, a billion or two pile up in bags in the vaults of the Federal Reserve system, with a few million for we collectors, with five varieties issued a year.&nbsp; The Native American dollars have never circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>The paper has to go.&nbsp; It&#039;s simple.&nbsp; The two-dollar note will take up most of the slack, anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
