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.
