Future Of The Sbd (Susan B. Dollar)

Didn't know those were in circulation. Never see them anywhere.

After reclamation, they should artificially tone them (golden) and re-release.

I think I saw this in the COINS act also. First, I don't think the Fed will withdraw the SBA dollars. It is not worth the hassle. Second, I think the part about selling the coins to collectors is a joke. Unless there is a mass marketer interested in these, I don't think even collectors want to buy 1 billion SBA dollars (or hundreds of millions). I certainly don't. Let them die a slow death.

But I for one am certainly in favor of the COINS act (but I doubt it will happen). Lets keep spending those dollars.

Problem is the only country that has really been buying up our dollar coins for their use has been Ecuador and they like the Sac dollar. (The people there think Sacagawea looks like a native Ecuadorian woman. I don't think they would cozy up to Susan.)

They really are hard to separate from quarters when mixed into change. If we get rid of $1 note, I hope they withdraw the SBA from circulation.

It makes a lot of sense to get rid of the $1 and $2 notes. The shredded old notes end up in landfills, where a dollar coin after about 30 or more years will be recycled for its metal. Our smallest note should be a five. It will save the taxpayers billions by switching to a $1 coin. From what I read, Canada saved nearly 10 times more than the actual projected savings on their switchover.

Why do you have eight when you should have no more than four?

Ideally, you would have only one if you made use of the two dollar note.

You are not maximizing use of your change. It is a hard habit to break. However, with a dollar coin you will be more eager to use the one(s) received in change on the next purchase.
