I for one say the sooner these presidential subway tokens are done with the better.

The 2000 Sac dollar was IMO the last great American coin design. I regret that the mint abandoned it.

I will admit however that the upcoming Eisenhower Presidential dollar will be an amusing novelty, at least.

Horrible designs and completely unnecessary. Not every president needs to be honored on a coin. Also quite an insult to Native Americans. I look forward to thinner proof sets.

For 2016, a three-coin Golden Dollar lens (the Nixon & Ford coins, with a Native American dollar) would make sense.
The Presidential dollar purists might not like having the NA dollar in the set. Wait, are there any Presidential dollar purists?

Fixed it.

How so? It would have been an insult if they had quit making them when the presidential series started. On the contrary, the legislation set a mintage requirement for the Sacagawea (now Native American) dollar to ensure it had equal presence.

Another Native American "Insult": Instead of a San Francisco Proof coin for the 2014 Native American Coin and Currency Set (which is the "finest possible version" of that coin), the Mint decided to cut corners and issue some "halfway" version minted in Denver.

Well, it looks like Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan will get a coin after all.
