<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 766053, member: 19765&quot;]I agree, that would have been a really nice looking coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s JMO but I think the Ike dollar and the SBA were the end of the dollar coin.&nbsp; Incidentally I got an email awhile back from the us mint talking about selling Sacagawea dollars for circulation.&nbsp; Not to trash the Ike or the SBA but unfortunately the public didn&#039;t appreciate the two either.&nbsp; That said, I don&#039;t know why the mint stopped minting dollar coins for circulation but it looks like they&#039;re having second thoughts after all these years have passed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh in a nutshell here&#039;s part of the email:</p><p>Native American $1 Coins have been made available again on the United States Mint&#039;s Circulating $1 Coin Direct Ship Web site. These circulation-grade $1 coins are available in boxes of ten 25-coin rolls. There is no charge for shipping and handling.</p><p><br /></p><p>The intended purpose of the Circulating $1 Coin Direct Ship Program is to make $1 Coins readily available to the public, at no additional cost, so they can be easily introduced into circulation -- particularly by using them for retail transactions, vending, and mass transit.&nbsp; $1 Coins are 100% recyclable, last for decades and save the Nation money.&nbsp; (Please note: The immediate bank deposit of $1 Coins ordered through this Program does not result in their introduction into circulation and, therefore, does not comply with the intended purpose of the Program.) Quantities are limited. <a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?acn_mc=B54563G&amp;acn_ev=click&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;sourceCode=B54563G&amp;URL=CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?acn_mc=B54563G&amp;acn_ev=click&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;sourceCode=B54563G&amp;URL=CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100" rel="nofollow">Order now</a> for gifts, or for personal use.</p><p>&nbsp; <a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?acn_mc=B54563G&amp;acn_ev=click&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;sourceCode=B54563G&amp;URL=CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?acn_mc=B54563G&amp;acn_ev=click&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;sourceCode=B54563G&amp;URL=CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.usmint.gov/images/html_email/N01_560x320.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
