I think about it. It might be the correct way to do it. With low quality control in mint, the "upside down" errors will be a sure thing. Rather than making them a modern rarity, let's just have fun to "collect" them. The more we hoard away, the better for mint. They should offer the proof in two versions, too because I think it will happen.

You won't see two versions of the proof! And hoarding them, in most areas of the country, won't be possible either as MOST banks will NOT call them out as they don't want the change. After the Federal Reserve forces a few of the first couple of coins on them they will refuse to call them out. The paper dollar rules and the banks find them much easier to count, store, carry and they don't have to roll them.

Personally, I hate paper dollars and would much rather use a coin. Here are the President dollar coins that I was recently commissioned to create as a medallion set:  |

I've owned a few medals in the past with a very small "Whitehead Hoag" marking on them. They were interesting pieces, but I don't know the history of Whitehead Hoag. Fill me in please :) |

HaHa. I was going to say that I'm just a write-in candidate and leave it at that. But the new electronic voting machines don't even allow a write-in vote do they (something fishy about that) ? The only Rocky Mountain designs I've ever done are the Colorado State Quarter concepts: http://www.designscomputed.com/coins/sq_2006.html |

I cant wait till the new dollars come in. Really I would much rather have paper money its easier to carry around, my purse weighs enough as is I really dont want all these coins weighting it down even more. But I do like the coins for collecting, I am makeing sure we order a good supply of all the dollar coins when they come out. Normally at the bank we never order any coins but I want to make sure people can get them and I can get some.
