Message:: [QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 76556, member: 4230"]I have read the legislation on the new dollar series, but i dont seem to 'get-it' all. Are these dollars going to commemorative, or for circulation? Also, what about the stance from the US Mint not to have any 'living persons' appearing onthe coins? will they ignore any living president? or will they include Bush jr, clinton and the other past prez's that are still alive.... One other thing... and this is the main reason i hat the golden dollar --- will the pres serires dollar coin be a real dollar coin? or is it going to be the same size as the golden dollar and SBA? The biggest reason i disliked both those coins is their size... i want a dollar coin that screams dollar... not a close cousin to the quarter.... the Ike dollar was a heafty 24.59 grams @ 38.1mm, the SBA was a puny 8.1 grams @ 26.5mm. Even the Kennedy is 11.5 grams @ 30.6mm. Get rid of these tiny dollars!!!! as a side note - i think i liked the old coinage that used pictures to depict liberty. I appreciated the use of past presidents, but i would really LOVE to see a change. I saw and read the thread for the new 2006 nickle.... but i would really liek to see womthing or someone other then jefferson. Maybe a new person, or a new represetation of something - ANYTHING..... So in 10+/- years when the presidential dollar series is over... any chance we might see someone other then scag?[/QUOTE]
