<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cal.Sales, post: 508779, member: 16930&quot;]Allow me to correct myself.&nbsp; I said that Sacs were bad design as circulating money since they looked so much like another circulating coin that people wouldn&#039;t use them.&nbsp; Of course I meant Susan B Anthonys.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes Hobo, I have to say that Ikes, Peace dollars and Morgans are bad designs as cikrculating money because of their size and/or weight.&nbsp; If people won&#039;t carry around Ikes because of their weight/size, then I&#039;d bet that in a silver circulating coin society</p><p>they wouldn&#039;t carry around Peace or Morgans either no matter how beautiful or aesethically pleasing they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, I&#039;m arguing that it&#039;s not about intrinsic value or lack thereof.&nbsp; I&#039;m saying that a bad circulating coin design is one that detracts from its functionality as money.&nbsp; In a shell money society I think brittle, easily breakable shells would be a bad design choice if people wanted durability and therefore wouldn&#039;t use those brittle, easily breakable shells.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow that&#039;s my opinion and I&#039;m sticking to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>cal.sales[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
