All those d...I don't like the presidential dollars. All those designs are ugly, including the statue of liberty reverse. I've always thought that the Sacegawea dollars are way prettier coins, and also don't understand why the mint decided to redesign the reverse, as that was a really nice flying eagle. I also think that after the presidential dollars run their course, the mint should systematically remove all presidents from our coins and go back to the original intent of the founders not to have presidents on the coins. The lady liberty, flying eagle, and native american designs are much nicer to look at as well. All of our prettiest U.S. coins either feature lady liberty or native americans in their traditional settings. They could leave presidents on the paper money perhaps. They should also phase out the paper dollar by removing it from circulation. People aren't going to start using the dollar coins in any significant way until they do that. They should also come out with $2 coins, like Canada has done for a while, with bi-metal designs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-61871108327514225122009-01-29T09:49:00.000-08:002009-01-29T09:49:00.000-08:00Yawn...Yawn...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
