Does anyone know what size the new Presidential dollars will be. I'm buying protectors for all my other coins and I wanted to buy holders for the new Dollars, but I don't know what size to get. Will they be a whole different size or will they be the same as the SCA/SBA or the older style dollars? Does anyone know? |

Same size. Almost has to be, because vending machines would have to be modified otherwise.

As much as I would like to see the dollar coin circulated it will be just like the SBA & SAC people will just hoard them and you will not see them. |

We will almost never see them in commerce, as long as the Federal government is still issuing bills.

Did anyone catch the article in NN today about the edge lettering on the new dollars?
The proofs will all have edge lettering that faces upright when heads is up, but the buisness and uncirculated strikes will be randomly struck on the third side...does anyone else see what I see?
Read into this...in order to have a 'complete' collection you are going to have to collect the following strikes of each presidential coin:
Proof
Uncirculated P (lettering face up)
Uncirculated D (lettering face down)
Matte Finish P (lettering face up)
Matte Finish D (lettering face down)
AAAAAAARRRGH! This is as bad as the regular coinage when they started with the matte finish on the mint sets and the standard finish on the buisness strikes...
The mint is going way over the top...

Four a year.
Regarding circulation, most everybody realizes they won't circulate -- not as long as paper $1 bills are made. So, there has to be a "political" reason that the paper money is not done away with. What the reason is I'm not sure, but there has to be one.

U.S. Mint San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia and West Point VERSUS U.S. Printing Office, Washington, D.C. (Carries a big stick) Is this a possibility? Berry |

The company that makes all the paper for US currency is in Mass.
Singles account for a huge percentage of the total bills printed.
Ted Kennedy still has some clout.

Thats one of the reasons H.R. 5818: (Currency Overhaul for an Industrious Nation (COIN) Act) sought to put both the mint and the BEP under control of the Fed. Looks like its dead this time around. |

Crane Paper Company, the exclusive supplier of currency paper since 1879, has a VERY POWERFUL Congressional Lobby(Ted Kennedy and John Kerry) and has had laws passed in its favor to continue the monopoly. http://www.time.com/time/insidebiz/...8886,00.html |
