<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1015587, member: 22143&quot;]I think the biggest reason these coins don&#039;t circulate has to do with the complete botch job of the original Susan B. Anthony coin in the late 70s which locked them into a dollar coin that still is very close to the size of a quarter.&nbsp;&nbsp; We have since had the very PC native American dollar and now every president up to Buchanan.&nbsp;&nbsp; They have been produced in silver and gold colors and so forth.&nbsp; &nbsp; In other words, no one knows what in the hell this thing is supposed to look like which to coin collectors this seems obvious, but not to the average person.&nbsp; &nbsp; There is no continuity or connection to anything.&nbsp;&nbsp; In contrast, everyone knows what a dollar bill looks like.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What they should have done was to have kept the original Ike size, placed Washington on on side, an Eagle on the other, and simply produced that in quantity for the next 25 years instead of the litany of token looking abominations which we are stuck with now.&nbsp; And they needed to offer up a PM (silver version).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
