I am now looking over the mints direct ship program for the dollar coins. Face value and free shipping seems a bargain to me. Now the question remains, which would be more fun to spend...the prez dollars or the Native American dollars? Hmm...

If you go for them and you have a card that gives you cash back use it. That way you get them for LESS than face value.

I took the mint up on their $1 circulating coin program and got $250.00 native american coins. I looked through them and found about 25 in a condition worth keeping. The others I spend a couple at a time...coffee shop...grocery store ... small purchases. Most people do a double take on them still...like they have never seen one before. I'd like to see them get into routine circulation but don't think they will ever be as readily accepted as a quarter...unless, of course, they get rid of the paper dollar first.

I think it would be a lot of fun spending so many of these. I really wanna get these in circulation. I would still be collecting them today but the edge lettering kills it for me.

That's funny, Maine_Jim. But, I was wondering if you had a cull or below AG 1800's coin and decided to spend that at a store, what kind of expression you would get from the cashier.
