It is my opinion that unless these start circulating, they could just take whats in the vault and melt them.

Thanks, looks like our mintage estimates are similiar.
"Billions of sac dollars in Govt. storage (Unless "something" changes in the next couple years)"
............my comments would be if we ran our companies divisions with this high inventory build, our owners would be in the poor house, all inventory & no A/R receiveables.

"they could just take whats in the vault and melt them" good suggestion, ............as a wierd composite ally,: Composition: 88.5% Cu, 6% Zn, 3.5% Mn, 2% Ni, I am curious if they could melt & separate & re-use?

we have to give it some time, right now too many collectors are grabbing them up, I am always giving out the dollar coins now rather than the paper money unless its requested that they have the paper money

if she doesn't know when they will be comming it means that they havent ordered any. if a bank orders money then it comes in about two days.

I picked up two more rolls of the Washington Dollars today at the bank, and have been having a good time spending them.
The clerks really take a good look at the dollars when I hand them over, but nobody has shown surprise, or questioned what they are.
And, for the kazillionth time, this dollar, or the previous two, will not circulate until the paper dollar is eliminated. And, the paper dollar isn't being eliminated for political reasons, meaning it will be the same old, same old for years to come.

I have my Sacagawea Dansco Album completed, with proofs, but almost all of the coins had to be purchased from my coin store.  Edited by Gary Burke

The hope is that all those people that ran to the bank for rolls in the hope that they would find a smooth edge error coin will spend those coins.
2001 sac's are in circulation also. I pick up a roll each week to use in the machines at work and would get about 3 2001 coins per roll of 25.

The government can always send those stockpiled Sac & Pres. coins to the countries we don't like as our foreign aid payment. Kind of like a dissatisfied customer leaving a 100 Lincolns on the table for a tip. At least they would get some use. The cost of minting, stock piling then melting them would drive any other business broke. Name one government agency that you feel you are getting your bang for your buck?

The government is too stubborn to realise dollar coins will NOT work unless its paper counterpart is eliminated.

thats a good point, if they did just stop making paper money then we would have no other option
