[QUOTE="jerseycat10, post: 772329, member: 21057"]For many years, the dollar coin was the pinnacle of US coinage. It's 38mm stature was unmistakable.

You would think they would recognize the mistake, and give the denomination it's due justice by replacing the SBA with a coin worthy of it's $1 billing. But no, they replace it with an even more forgettable coin, the Sacagawea. This coin has been largely resigned to a fate of vending machines and subway toll change.

Then, the presidential coinage is released, and just like the state quarters, we will be flooded with endless, worthless varieties, sure to glut the market like baseball cards did in the late 90's and early 00's. Question is: Will this denomination ever appear again in a 38mm format? Even if it came back in it's current golden copper-nickel-zinc-managese alloy, that would be swell. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
