I LIKE THESE ENHANCED UNCIRCULATED DENVER SACS AND WILL BUY SEVERAL MORE UNTIL THEY TOP $100 EACH ON THE ^69’s, TARGETING A DOZEN SPECIMENS TO HOLD ONTO FOR POSTERY. ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHAT I DO WITH THEM FROM THERE.

Really? And here I am sitting around waiting for an email from the mint telling me that sales have resumed. I guess that part of the new website hasn’t been implemented yet.

Sets are no longer listed as “out of stock.” The U.S. Mint has re-opened ordering.

@RonnieBGood –
Yes, Denmark is ceasing production of coins and currency, but…
They are simply farming it out to other producers in an effort to save costs, which may or may not actually save anything.

The Mint is trying:
According to the Federal Register: “Understanding the public’s use and perception of United States circulating coins and coin usage is necessary for the United States Mint to carry out its mission to mint and issue circulating coins in amounts that the Secretary of the Treasury determines are necessary to meet the needs of the United States and to prepare recommendations to Congress as authorized by Public Law 111-302.”

The information collected will cover the following topics, with special emphasis on low-denomination coins:
•Use of coins as payment.
•General payment preferences.
•General awareness concerning low-denomination coins.
•Attitudes regarding potential changes in coinage.
•The use of rounding retail transactions.
•Demographic characteristics.

“The data will be used to understand the public’s use and perception of specific U.S. circulating coinage for the purpose of analyzing options and proposing recommendations for possible changes to the nation’s circulating coins, per the Federal Register notice.

Did you know…
“Denmark is one step closer to becoming the first modern cashless society. The Nationalbanken or Danish central bank announced on Oct. 21, 2014 that they will stop printing bank notes & issuing coins by approx. the end of 2016.”

I agree Munzen. When people go to Washington they leave their common sense at home.

Ronnie, the numismatic community’s been down that path hundreds of times. The dollar coin has failed because Congress, Crane Paper, and the “we’re-Americans-we’re-different” crowd refuse to accept what dozens of other countries figured out long ago. Also the glaring omission of a practical $2 coin or a modernized $2 bill from every transition plan gives credibility to those who claim everyone will have pockets full of $1 coins.

In the meantime we’re wasting hundreds of millions of dollars every year printing oceans of bills, adding bill acceptors to vending machines, stuffing parking meters with quarters, etc. etc.

Enhanced or not. It’s still just a Sac dollar. What about the dollar bill? Anything special about it? Looks like a lot of hype to me. Still not buying it. Overpriced. Should be about $4.95.

I believe the mint Needs to be totally reorganized.Since these agency’s never fire any one transfer them out.Look at private technology companies if they don’t satisfy with evolving development they simply loose base until they no longer exist(Apple Samsung Microsoft)these guy are progressive.No one wants recycled technology,so why in the devil would you collect a thousand versions of this junk.Send the message just simply don’t buy. Buy your significant other something that glitters and shines you will be rewarded.Just My Opinion.
