<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 155005, member: 5233&quot;]You guys are probably right that a dollar coin won&#039;t be completely accepted without the $1 bill being abolished...but perhaps this is the &quot;baby step&quot; idea.&nbsp; First, introduce a &quot;collectible&quot; dollar coin series that will see circulation as &quot;lay people&quot; and collectors alike try and assemble sets thereby generating interest in the $1 coin.&nbsp; Perhaps then, a few years into the Presidental Dollar, start to phase out the $1 bill.&nbsp; By the end of the Presidental series, the dollar bill is gone and the coin is circulating.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think we can just introduce a dollar coin and expected everyone to love it.&nbsp; But, by making it &quot;interesting&quot; such as a series like this, maybe phasing out the bill is next.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I completely agree, there is nothing like collecting the older coins-to me, moderns can&#039;t even compare.&nbsp; But, there are many collectors out there (myself included) who like to collect a little of this and a little of that.&nbsp; I wish for example, I could dedicate myself to a Morgan Dollar collection but being a college student (and soon to be a graduate student) and simply can&#039;t come up with the funds.&nbsp; For me, the joy of collecting at the moment comes simply from the hunt.&nbsp; I will deffinately assemble a Presidental Dollar collection as they come out, hopefully at face price right out of circulation.&nbsp; It will never be worth anything, but it will be fun.&nbsp; To me, thats whats important.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
