I hear ya; coins cost us much less money; they last much longer, but our coins have no precious metal and the paper money and coins are backed by no precious metal…..they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. and that is exponentially becoming a joke, compounded with every heartbeat; purchasing power will elude our moneys till such time fiscal responsibility becomes the norm. Wouldn’t it be nice to have any $1 coin or larger denomination be a circulation commonplace and the coins have purchasing power as you’ve said! The spend and tax folks running our government makes me very skeptical of a $1 ever having any purchasing power or value to countries as it once did.

I think Republicans should seize the opportunity to replace Sacagawea with Reagan starting in 2017. Given the adoration for the former President the party shows, they might just be the ones to actually get a circulating dollar coin in the United States. I’m tired of the Presidential portrait gallery on our coins but I’ll overlook one more if it puts us on the path to creating circulating coins with actual purchasing power again…

#1 is my choice. Reagan looked presidential because he acted presidential. What we have now is a mockery. Let’s hope there is an America left for the next President to try and save.

Thanks Bill,

I hear in your answer a voice of someone I listen to often. No not Orally or Rush. For Richard, Munzen, Calaverasgrande, and Pete would you buy current president’s US coin one day down the road? He sim to be doing everything under the sun only not in secrecy.

I think the coin will do well, just look at the way people voted in last election.

Vadim may be right on! The more I study the designs, RR-07 may be the best one; I’ve seen that expression many times. I will get as many rolls as I can of Reagan; I suggest Richard, Munzen, Calaverasgrande, and Pete continue listening to Alan Colmes and purchase al of the Woodrow Wilson rolls you can find.

What is wrong with you people? I thought this was a spot to comment upon THE COINS. Please….save your deluded self-righteous crap for when you call in to your buddies Limbaugh, or O’Reilly.

How about sticking to opinions, if you have any that is, about the merits or concerns with the coin itself. Personally I’d rather see a more serious looking portrait. He wasn’t our high school class senior class prom king, so why the huge focus on so many jovial/clownish looking portrait choices. This hasn’t been the trend throughout the entire rest of the presidential dollar coin series.

Iran Contra.
Not only did it fund death squads in Honduras and Nicaragua, it sold arms to Middle East Terrorists, arms that they use to kill Americans. This was all in direct violation of laws passed by congress. and it was run out of the White House basement by convict Ollie North. Reagan ‘had no knowledge’ somehow of what was literally transpiring under his nose.
IT has never been proven unequivocally, but this is precisely when cocaine started showing up in large cost effective amounts in major urban centers. With all the hallmarks of having been transported militarily. If you remember your 8th grade economics, trade is most often a trade triangle. So arms for money for drugs for more arms, makes far more sense than arms for money for arms.
Reagan was a corrupt slimy windbag.
If anyone ever hands me one of these dollars in change, I will refuse to recognize it as legal tender.

Proud to have you in our country! Thanks for the complement. There’s not been any true conservative presidents since Reagan. There’s been moderate Republican presidents, Bush 41 & Bush 43, a conservative like president after his 1st 2 years in office as an uber leftist, Clinton, and now we have in office an uber, socialist, leftist that sees no limits to his Communist like conversion of this country to a dictatorship and does so with the help of Dems in congress, liberal judges, and the liberal mainstream media.

Thanks again Vadim!

You are a true patriot. Agree with you on everything. I love this country! I came from Soviet Union in 93, and I can tell you for sure that it was USA that drove soviet Union to bankruptcy. Communism is incomparable to capitalism. Why do you think Gorbachov got the ball rolling? Those who want a perfect society, a perfect country (utopia), are fools and need to reexamine the history of modern world. I see that the new generation of people are not tought properly at every level of education. Next thing, we end up with this lawless in office who young people voted for in grate numbers. Tell me which of president did the most good for the country since Reagan?

As for the coin, I like all except 05 and 08. The best one is 07
