It seems that our mint and congress have learned nothing by issuing yet again another dollar coin series that is doomed to failure. I will have nothing to do with these coins until the date and MM are returned to the obverse. I think reeded coins would be more interesting on dollars.

They learned to make them NIFC and limit the mintage accordingly. Doomed for failure? Not for their intended purpose. I give them a C+ or maybe a B-. Now, if they want an A they need to kill the one dollar note and let these guys circulate. Also moving the date and mint mark to the obverse will get them that A+.  |

I still can't wrap my mind around the date and mintmark being relegated to the rim. Once again, the mint is trying way too hard to satisfy way too many political agendas. Remember how much everyone (except me) hated the SBA? Makes me wish for those good ol' days. |

I do not think it is an agenda. I think they just think it is cool to have edge lettering. It is not.

I can't wrap my head around why we always blame the Mint for doing things that are required by the legislation that Congress passed. |

The image in the OP shows the rim. I see, still an artists rendition though. I want to see the real coin. Quote:

I believe that the date and mintmarks were moved to the rim back in 2009, and I'm not sure if that was legislated by Congress or if that was a design choice by the Mint to accommodate the themes legislated by Congress. I'm sure someone here has a copy of the press release...? For now, I'll blame the Mint, but feel free to correct me. |

Congress legislates certain elements of the design. In the case of the Native American dollars, it's in the original legislation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg...10publ82.htmQuote:
In general.--The inscription of the year of minting and issuance of the coin and the inscriptions `E Pluribus Unum' and `In God We Trust' shall be edge-incused into the coin. Later legislative updates, similar to the Presidential dollars, moved IGWT to the obverse, but the other inscriptions remained on the edge. Edited by Alpha2814

I'll revise my earlier comment:
"Once again, the mint Congress is trying way too hard to satisfy way too many political agendas".
I hope that makes everyone feel better.
