The mint is rolling out golden dollar bill coins, again. They are trying to save money on reprinting costs for new dollar bills that replace old bills that get to worn out.
But do we really need a new coin, again?
It seems that the mint is continually trying to sell us on a dollar coin. If they think its such a great idea, why do they spend so much time and money coming up with new designs? Pick a coin and stick with it. The quarter worked just fine for decades.
even at the Mint you have to spend money to make money . . .
There was no solid reason for making the print look special with multiple state designs, but I suspect working at the mint gets a little dull. And even at the Mint you have to spend money to make money, literally!
I just hope they stick with the same coin. All this back and forth on the issue doesn't help the coin get established.
It probably doesn't help that the Mint selected Nixon as a model for one of the new dollar coins(Granted that coin will not be available for about 9 years as they are doing 4 coins per year starting with the first four Presidents and working their way up).
Who's next King George?
