Sometimes you have to pick your fights. In this case I choose to let congress do what they want. I won’t be buying any of these dollars just like I’m not buying any of the liberty medals.

I’ll collect any thing made by the US MINT made in at least 90% silver.

Not a bad idea, but I don’t think stoners are interested in collecting coins. Now if the coins could only be used to buy cannabis, you might be on to something.

Before people judge me this is all in fun.

Why not start a dollar program about cannabis? lol Over half the States in the U.S. have passed it’s use for medical purposes. Release the coins in the order in which the States passed the law for it’s use. Or have a coin series of cannabis with the different strains of cannabis like: Sour Diesel, Durban Poison, Kosher Kush, Tangerine Power, Blue Dream or Banana Kush. I mean why not? You would be surprise how many people are using and WHO is using. lol
Like I said this is all in fun.

I think the $1 coin would be a great choice for this kind of theme except for the fact that only collectors will ever see them and not the general population. The population at large WILL collect these coins and just like the penny (though not for the same reason) they will disappear from circulation and force minting more.

I feel for you all. As a proud Canadian and supporter of my RCM, it pains me to read about US products that are so far from what the consumer wants or needs. When numismatic coins are produced at a mintage at par or greater than bullion than I agree with Seth…they are as “common as dirt”. Don’t purchase, let the US mint learn what the consumer wants and needs. Don’t give them a cent for a half cent.

David,
With all your respect, we can read all that “educational” stuff you mention in a book…with a lot more details…not in $1 coins, sorry.

Mike Unser & CoinNews readers FYI –

Talk about “innovation” & $1 coins, the 2016-W Proof ASE $1 30th anniversary silver coin had first day sales of 262,816 coins from approximately 81,000 different people or companies. These will be as common as dirt. Beautiful, but unlimited mintage.
