Remember the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin?
No, I thought not. Remember the Sacagawea dollar coin? Both flopped. Mainly because the treasury refused to call in all paper $1 bills, and so absolutely no pressure was put on vending companies to upgrade their vending machines.
And the banking industry itself paid no attention to it. The last time I went into the State Employees Credit Union here in Wilkesboro to ask for a role of Sacagawea dollars --
they didn't know what I was talking about!
So the US Mint is coming up with yet another dollar coin for your entertainment.

Bart: What is that? A quarter?
Milhouse: A Chuck-E-Cheese token?
Marge: No! It's a Sacagawea dollar! You can trade it in at the bank for a regular dollar! ::grinning:: Huh? Huh?

I kinda liked Sacagawea's smile. And the gold color.
Why don't we just get rid of that paper bill and go for the coin.
I'm sold on that. In fact, I would prefer a 20 or 25 dollar coin made of something valuable like Silver.
Similar to the American Liberty Dollar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar)

Yeah. Why don't we have our own version of the Kruggerand?
