thanks tiffibunni

and when say sacawea what,s meaning this?

Sacagawea is minted in the Denver, Philly and San Francisco mints. If you had one with an "S" it would have been minted in San Francisco

thanks brett

"Sacajawea" or "Sac" is a one dollar coin with a color similar to gold, but it tarnishes pretty quickly. It's the second attempt at getting people to accept a small sized dollar coin, and it failed like the first attempt did.

Yea, so we just collect them instead.
