As for the Central America coin use, from what I have read, they have what they need for circulation and only will request a few million "replacement" coins each year.
The last figures I saw for the 2006 Sac production was about 7 million. 5 million for roll,bag and mint set sales plus 2 million extra(S.America replacements?)

If anything ends up being a sleeper in this series it will be a proof coin just like the 2001 Sacagawea proof. Personally I prefer continuing the Sackie series but can't get excited about another round of dead Presidents and bland designs. One thing is for certain the SACKIES are a MUST continue series!

dollar coins won't be accepted by the public until the dollar note disappears. thats how it has been in all the other countries that once had both.

FYI, straight from Laxmasters article on edge lettering just to give everyone a starting point for counting. It's a little vague, but at least it is a minimum count. |

The people don't trust their own currency.

Collect4Fun- From what I understand Ecuador changed it's official currency to the US Dollar some while back. My speculation is that the $1 bill was not very popular due to it.s life span especially in tropics. Also the bill was easy to counterfeit since the people were not used to our bills thus the demand for Sacs.

Upside down writing is as common as right side up. They should be 50-50.

Congrats Bruce. I'm sitting my one and only Grandson right now.
Maybe you should start a Prez dollar collection for him.

I'll just throw my opinion out there: There are a lot of coins being minted, and a lot of hoarding is going to take place. There are coin collectors holding on to literally thousands and thousands of dollars worth of these. They may end up like the Susan B Anthony dollars, when a lot of rolls were hoarded and now a roll is only worth around a dollar over face. If anything, I'd bust open those rolls (if they were philly ones and from a bank close to north florida) in hopes of a blank edge coin. |
