Neat thing is that they have half a dozen pictures of bags of them in the Fed vault in Baltimore, MD. One of the pictures shows a bag with 2 Susan B. Anthony's, one heads, one tails. If you look closely, you can see the tape. The photographer clearly taped the 2 Susie's to the outside of a full bag to get the picture he wanted.

But since it does not, we're running out of storage for these useless and unwanted coins. Doesn't seem this plan wasn't well thought out. Now we're stuck with it. It's not likely that legislation will be changed to reduce production or to cease it all together. IMO this is a huge blunder. Things I would change in a dollar coin program would be just go back to the Sacagawea design and put the date and mint mark back on the obverse of the coins. The reverse eagle design is great but I actually like the Statue of Liberty design but would be better with ONE DOLLAR instead of the token-like $1. Then get rid of the $1 green back.
