With luck, Trump will bring his usual chaos to bear on this bill and veto it because “nobody uses dollar coins” or otherwise reminding us that we have hundreds of millions of dollar coins sitting in vaults.

A 14 year program! Why so long?
4 or 5 years is long enough for any series!
The state quarter program that started so strong faltered long before 10 years was over (11 if you count the US possessions)!

Good idea, the taxpayers have room to store another 500,000,000 dollars

In reply to Seth Riesling.

So long as Congress has the final say-so, our coinage is gonna have a double helping of wasteful decisions driven by politics and grandstanding. Nobody’s got the spine to stand up to the paper lobby and the naysayers, or even make an eyeblink in the direction of what other countries have done. Get rid of the dollar bill, and at the same time issue a modernized $2 bill – or better yet, mint a small, convenient $2 coin like the one that’s been so successful in Australia.

But I dream …

In reply to Silverboy. Unless the Mint changes course, these coins will only be available to collectors either via the Mint or 3rd parties. You might wait till any initial hype (ha!) dies down and see where the price settles on the secondary market.

Andrew Marotta –

I agree with your comment totally. The Federal Reserve has approximately $1.2 billion $1 coins in vaults just sitting there since 2011 gathering dust! Asinine!

In reply to Chuck. Yes! Having the date on the front makes it seem much more like a real coin. Who can read what's on the edge anyway?

“Dollar coins have not been released into circulation since 2011. The United States Mint produces them in circulating, proof and uncirculated finishes solely for coin collector products. H.R. 770 would make no changes in that regard.” Why the Mint makes another non-circulating coin is beyond me!

Wow,
We realy need another dollar coin LOL. I have spent many of current ones that I have picked up at the bank, but have never received one in change from a shop. If we are going to get a new dollar I hope and pray that the date is on the face of the coin and not on the edge!! I do not believe that any other country in the world has put the date of their coins on the edge. The date and mint mark on the edge of a coin is a very poor idea, I usualy identify the year of the dollar coins by their design, not the tiny date on the edge.
