Message:: [QUOTE="Buck, post: 194774, member: 7475"]I"m not on the forum as much as I'd like and I apologize if this has been discussed before but I wanted to bring up a thought I had about the presidential dollars.  I was in the bank today asking about the new dollars. The teller in charge of ordering was not sure they were going to get them in because they don't want them sitting around. She told me they have almost $4000 in sacs and susans in the vaults that they just need to get out of there and send back to the Feds, but the postage is so high, they are stalling a bit.  I look at the anticipated mintages of this dollar coin and the amount of unaccepted dollars sitting in vaults already, and I wonder if there are enough collectors and hoarders out there to use them up. The quarter was all together different in the fact that we use quarters frequently. We don't like the dollar coin.  My prediction is that in a year or two, the mint will cut numbers way down, or maybe switch to the mode they have for the halves and sacs, just releasing them for collectors. Those later years may be the best years to buy.  Has anyone got any comments for a skeptic like me?[/QUOTE]
