Just a silly question here......but WHY is there not a current date (mint date) on these USA one dollar coins! I see there is the other date -- BUT you would think that they would STILL have a mint date on them (USA POLK Dollar).

The simplest of questions.....just seems weird to me IMHO

It's located on the edge along with the mint mark (P or D) and E Pluribus Unum .

oh.....I have not seen one yet, but a friend of mine got one in their change and asked me why no date. I had no answer since I had Not seen one.

Well now I know and will tell them to look on the side

Even without a date you would still be able to determine the year (but not the mint unless it was a proof)

There are 4 President dollars for any given year and once the Sac dollars became "Native American" NIFC dollars the changing reverse design would tell you the year.

Honestly, that's the only thing about the NA Dollars that I don't like. I don't see why they couldn't have just left the year and mint mark on the obverse like it was for the Sac Dollar. It looks better that way, in my opinion.

That is my biggest gripe about the "golden" dollars, the date and mintmark on the edge of the coin. You can't read it without a magnifier (I can't anyway). That's our government at its finest. cough, cough.

They moved the date because some dolt thought they had to make them match the Presidential dollars.

It is the reason why I gave up on collecting date and mint. Just one per year, since you cannot see the mint mark when keeping them in an album (as said above, you can easily determine the date).

I will mention that my horrible finds in circulation made me decide to only collect them in proof.

Maybe down the road Presidential dollars will be worth more with a date on them.
