neversuited1 Pillar of the Community United States 1121 Posts	Posted 11/24/2008 08:04 am How about a $5 coin about the size of a halve with some silver composition. Lady Liberty on the obverse and the US seal on the back, intended for circulation? Anyone? Report this Post to the Staff

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 11/24/2008 08:53 am There's pattern coinage from the 1800's in that denomination.. definitely need a date. Some Philipines coinage also have this design (not sure if they have a $5, I'd have to look it up). Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 11/24/2008 11:04 am Although I like the idea, it will never work unless they get rid of the five dollar FRN as well. The failure of the dollar coin to circulate is tied to the fact the the one dollar FRN is still being printed.

neversuited1 Pillar of the Community United States 1121 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 07:59 am yeah of course it would have to be a 40%er or less, but I guess I don't ever see the us mint circulating any precious metals again. But then again yrs from now the copper (esp pre82 cents) and in clad coins may be considered a precious metal. Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 4:57 pm I agree that it wouldn't circulate. Folks look at me funny already when I spend Presidential dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
