henare Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 yecch. i wrote to my two senators about this but i have no hope the right thing will happen. of course, one of them was one of the original lump of cosponsors and she's a junior republican anyway.

captaincoffee Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I think the $1 presidental coins are a sure thing. They will be good for general education of the public too. I've heard that some teachers are using the state quarters as a teaching tool in the classroom, and I'm sure they will use the presidental coins in the same way to discuss events of the time. UncleBobo--perhaps the political bashing would be better off in the community forums portion of the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Just another thing for the mint to profit on. I wouldn't mind a $1 coin if it looked halfway decent (sorry, hate the SAC). It's a good idea but the craze over these is going to be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 George Washington is turning over in his grave! Don't these politicians care that the first President of this country would have absolutely hated this idea? Time to get back to depictions of "Liberty" on our coins.

Burks Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Time to get back to depictions of "Liberty" on our coins. That's the best idea for a coin I've heard in a LONG time. Maybe if we make Liberty "hip" the coins will be a big hit. Some tattoos on her arm, eye-shadow, new haircut.....yeah it could work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ah yes the nose ring. I knew there was something I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grifter Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I don't really think they'll look that great, but I'll probably end up just pulling them out of circulation just for the heck of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think the US mint should go retro....I would love to see a reincarnation of the Indian Head cent.....and the morgan silver dollar......and several other designs that were on Gold coins such as the $10 Indian and the $2 1/2 Indian instead of the stupid SAC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure they would manage to find some way to screw that up too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 The sac alloy is pretty bad as far as going brown is concerned. BTW, are sacs graded as yellow/brown UNC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
