All the presidential Golden Dollars will have liberty on them. On the
reverse. All of them. They will continue to mint Sacagaweas as well (not sure if they will also have the Statue of Liberty on the reverse). -- -Fred Shecter remove zorch two places to reply Current eBay auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopage...sortpropertyZ1 "Padraic Brown" wrote in message ...

Well, we all here know that "weaning" doesn't work. Didn't work in 1979 nor in 2000. This is one instance where cold turkey is the only feasable way. On the other hand, they WOULD have to flood America with nasty Dead Presidents... I am reminded of the old maxim: 'Be careful what you wish for'. With the exception of the "dollar coins are too heavy to carry" fogeys, almost everyone here (me incl.) has wished they would be rid of the rag dollar in favour of the coin. Looks like we're going to get just that, only with Willam Harrison's mug on in stead of some more attractive Liberty. Who was William Harrison? The US president whose ONLY claims to fame are 1)longest inaugural speech, 2) shortest term in office (hint: the two are almost the same length), 3) will have his mug on a dollar coin. BORING! The Dutch euro coins are more exciting. Padraic. la cieurgeourea provoer mal trasfu ast meiyoer ke 'l andrext ben trasfu. |

I don't keep dollar bills in my pocket. they are in my wallet. All my
change goes in a change jar, so I rarely have any change at all in my pocket. "Vector" wrote in message ... On Sun, 29 May 2005 10:49:42 -0500, "A.E.

With increased usage of the $2 note the only times it would be absolutely necessary to give a $1 coin in change would be for tendering amounts of $1 and $3. All other amounts could be met by using combinations of $2, $5, $10 and $20 notes. Unfortunately you are over estimating the intelligence of cashiers... dennis |
