Will the Sacagawea dollar be snubbed again in 2009?
The US Mint seemed very excited about the new Native American dollar
coins, the extension of the Sacagawea/Golden Dollar series. They were the first circulating coins released in 2009, and targeted through the Mint's direct ship program: http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/inde...release&ID=970 http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/?action=directShip However, no trace of Native American dollars is found in new information about 2009 coins just released by the Federal Reserve. All 14 of the other new coin designs for 2009 were included in distribution information: http://www.frbservices.org/operation.../new_coin.html http://www.frbservices.org/operation...sidential.html Will the Federal Reserve continue its 8-year tradition of refusing to help promote the Sacagawea/Golden Dollar coin series, and making new coins of this series impossible to get through the US banking system? Or iss this just an oversight, to be corrected in a few days? Will 2009 be the breakthrough year for the Sacagawea/Native American coin series? --Dave |

Otherwise it will be up to banks to force them on customers. Dollar coin advocates can order and spend hundreds of them daily, but until store cashiers quit putting any they receive aside while continuing to hand out dollar bills, nothing will change. Unless of course the dollar bill is discontinued. Soon. |
