<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bama guy, post: 194804, member: 6154&quot;]In my area the only people that have shown any interest in collecting the presidential coins are the very few collectors I know.&nbsp;&nbsp; The banks around here do not want them and I am not sure if any even know they are making them. My little collecting group at work have been discussing how are we going to get them and it looks like now we will have to order a few from the mint.&nbsp;&nbsp; That is kind of sad in my book especially if the mint is&nbsp; really trying to promote their use. Very few people seem to know about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Much like susie and sacagawea they will be collector item on a limited basis.&nbsp; If it were not for George being the lead off hitter so to speak, I have serious doubts if it would ever get off the ground.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that the only thing that would make them accepted would be to take the dollar bill off the market.&nbsp; Then you have the penny and the nickel to deal with.&nbsp;&nbsp; No nickel then what would you do with the quarter.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The mint and the powers to be may&nbsp; have to accept that there will be some lost money items out there.&nbsp; It is not like they have stockholder to answer to or will ever go broke.&nbsp; I understand stand the mint may be the only branch of the government that actually makes a little money. </p><p><br /></p><p>just my thoughts[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
