[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 380588, member: 8247"]This is a huge reason why the dollar won't take off (amongst all the others previously cited by others). I just went through "$1,000" in dollar coins and this is what I pulled out of the bag. Essentially, it cost me $20 (minus $2.55 for the quarters and nickels) for a 2003D Sacagawea, 2 Euro coin, and a canadian dollar. The 2 Euro is worth about $3.10 and the canadian dollar is sort of a wash, but everything else is worthless. Can you imagine being the retailer who goes all gung ho for the dollar coins and you open up a roll with that SAK tag or a guitar pick. At the mint, it costs $36 plus shipping to get a full roll of 2008 Sac's. That used to sound expensive, but now it seems like a hot deal compared to what it cost me for a circulated 2003D. Heck, even Littleton seems like a hot deal compared to mine. well, at least I enjoyed searching the bag, otherwise I would be upset.[/QUOTE]
