I have the George Washington.

(That was the fastest reply I've ever seen!) Yeah, I had to actually go to the bank to find them, when I cashed my pay check.

What can I say, I'm bored. ;o)

Really? I got mine out of a change machine.

I didn't think they'd have those in change machines. That's interesting.

Yeah I got 4 of them... I was like 'Omgosh, I've never seen these before!' Hehe.. I was excited.

haha, I remember when the Sacajawea coins came out (back in 2000). We'll see how these do. Ironically, my roommate was just showing them to me a few minutes ago

Yeah, I still have one Sacajawea dollar. Maybe it'll be worth $1.01 in the future if I keep it. But the state quarters were a big success so a new series like this might look good. But until they stop making the paper dollar there won't ever be a coin to replace it. Just like the metric system still isn't the primary system in the United States.

Depends on how the currencying goes. From what I understand, originally our paper money was backed by gold and silver, now it's not. Hence, major inflaltion becomes an option.

What's the metal value of the coins? (Amnt Metal * $/oz) If that's high enough, the coins may be worth more for their metal value than their 'normal' value. They had a similar problem with dimes, quarters, and higher back when those were made out of silver; people would shave the edges off, then use the coin. After a while, the shaved silver was a pile large enough to be worth something in its own right. That's why they started putting ridges around those coins; shaving the ridges would be obvious.

Is there a reason for the release? Or was it just to give you guys something new?
