I dislike the concept of writing on the edge of coins and is the reason I will not collect Presidential dollars. Last year I received two of them in change and promptly spent them. The idea of having a new design on the reverse of the Sacagawea dollar each year is encouraging, because it means the coin, which I like and collect, will continue to be minted. However, writing on the edge of the new Sacagawea dollar for 2009 and afterward will prompt me to re-evaluate collecting the coin after 2008 and will do little or nothing to increase popularity with the public at large. Sincerely, Buddy
The act of inscription on the edge is a GREAT idea! I like the idea of the edge being seen as a 3rd face. I won’t be using of collecting the President coins for the simple fact that Pualson caved to protests and changed the edge lettering. What an idiot. He should be jailed for his actions with the $700 billion bailout and this new guy, coming up, Tim Geitner is no better for not paying his taxes for years. I do hope to use the Sacagawea dollar more as th enew designs come out. What about a $2 coin? Also on my wish list is cenmaking all the faces on the paper money actually “Dead Presidents”, the common phraseaolgy. Maybe Reagan on the $10.00 and to follow what happened with Ben and the half dollar replace Ben on the $100 with JFK as we did the half dollar. Bring back the $500.00.

It would be helpful to have the edge lettering on the $1 coins, it distinguishes the coin from others in a handful of change.

Why is there not a date on this coin?
