U.S. Mint to Add Presidents to Dollar Coins


You know, they think adding president faces to the coins will help but I don't know. I personally just love any of the dollar coins, I just don't get any except when I get stamps from the Post Office machine it gives dollar coins in change instead of bills.

I think they ought to just keep putting women faces on them. Clara Barton, Annie Oakley, Florence Nightingale, Harriet Tubman, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and then there are all the first ladies. Lots of these ladies are sorta lost in history, be a neat platform to bring them into a new light---instead we get Harding & Nixon & Andrew Johnson

If they really want to get these coins into service they'll quit printing the paper.

$1 coins do seem more sensible than paper, in my view.

We have dollar coins and they're a nuisance. I already have enough loose change in my purse.

Well then save it, give it, or spend it! Drop it into the collection plate at church, store it up in a jar and cash it in (they've got those nifty machines at nearly every grocery store & bank that ya drop your change in for cash).

I want more dollar coins...

Menno, I think you are right about putting women's faces on teh coins. There are certainly more than enough great American women to fill a whole series of coins.
