From an article on CoinWorld's website, the Commission of Fine Arts recommended a design to grace the Native American dollar next year.

I have to say, the recommended design is a cut above the current Native American $1, which is the blandest one so far in the series. Also, the proposed reverse reminds me in some ways of a Buffalo nickel, namely the phrase "United States of America" near the rim, like "Liberty" was on the Buffalo nickel.

Read about it here:http://www.coinworld.com/articles/t...2012-dollar/.

The article has other interesting facts, notably that the Federal Reserve does not order Native American dollars for circulation.

I would save a roll of those just because they ARE cool! I honestly think the horse on the back is sweet!

Overall, good design. Finally I can sleep at night...

That is a cool design, but I've liked all the designs so far. Too bad they don't circulate. I keep spending them but I've never received one.

I like most of the NA dollar designs and this one too, but they'll probably sit in bank vaults until we get rid of the paper dollar.

I'm not as big of a fan. Looks like a 12 year old drew it. I like the design just not the finished product.

May look better in coin format though.

It looks great! I hope they decide to place the date on the obverse again.

yotie, I didn't read anything that suggested the Sacagawea obverse would be replaced by either of these two. I think both pictured designs are for the reverse, as they lack "Liberty" and "In God We Trust."

Yep, .

Those are two different reverse options and apparently they're going with the one on the left, which is a pretty cool design, I think.

I've received dozens of BU 2010/2011 D-mint Native American dollars in change...

...from the Denver Light Rail ticket dispensers and the Denver Mint Gift Shop.

Since banks can't special-order these coins, large quantities of them them are ending up in Denver's Light Rail system. In the fall of 2009, I was even getting handfuls of BU 2009-P (yes, Philly mint!) Native Dollars from the Light Rail ticket changers.

I may have to put the reverse facing forward in my book for that design. Best one yet. I was going to put a proof Sac in my 7070 but I think I'll wait until next year to get that one.

I agree that it looks like a 12 year old drew it. I like the design though. If they get someone who can draw a horse without Power Puff Girl eyes, then it may look good.
