<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigsWick, post: 195028, member: 3534&quot;]I&#039;ve been into several banks in the past 2 weeks and asked about the Presidential dollars. I&#039;ve gotten the same answer from each teller: &quot;We haven&#039;t ordered any and probably won&#039;t.&quot; The reason? The bank has to commit $1,000 per box for coins they feel will not circulate. They believe they&#039;ll sit in the vault and collect dust like Susan Bs and Sacs. So, why would Presidential dollars be any different?</p><p><br /></p><p>I did get a neat color brochure from one of the tellers. It was given to the bank by the Fed. It outlines the dollar coin program and the mint&#039;s marketing strategy. She said it was the only one she&#039;d seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway...</p><p><br /></p><p>I maintain that the smart thing to do would be to mint a $10 coin or a $20 coin. The increased purchasing power would likely encourage more people to carry them and use them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
