They erroneously thought the Native American series would increase demand for the dollar coin. It did not. Only killing off the one dollar note will increase demand.
The Golden dollar was some bad way of perfecting the disaster of the quarter sized Susan B Anthony Ugly silver dollar( which it too started, stopped, started and stopped). *** Removed Inappropriate Text! ***
The SBA only started again to meet anticipated demand before the Sacagawea dollars were available. Okay, they were misguided, but it's not quite the same. They didn't really think people wanted the SBA again.
They SBA started again because the Fed supply was being depleted by demand (the post office, mass transit, etc.) and the new Sacagawea was still a year away. The SBA was, legally, still the current design and could be minted at any time.
