In reply to Silverboy. Oh really. Dollar bills are actually made of mostly cotton, not paper. So your comment should be considered as from uneducated person, not as a knowledgeable scientist who knows that dollar bills aren't paper...

“Useless dollar coins”? They are quite the collector’s items and very popular. Otherwise, the U.S. Mint would…stop making them. Take satisfaction in the fact that you have the option to buy them…or not buy them. And, it gives work to the people who work at the Mint, just as new orders give work to you at your place of employment.

If Americans weren”t so stubborn and refuse to be the slightest inconvenienced we could dump the paper dollar and go to a coin which would be less costly. Great Britian, Canada, and the EU have done it no one broke their backs carrying a few more coins around.

Just what we need, another multiple design program for a coin the public doesn’t use so, when encountered because a few of these coins will make it into circulation despite all attempts by the Mint to prevent it, it makes average non-collector consumer question if they’ve been given real money or not.

Try spending $2 bills with people unlikely to have ever seen one and their design has been the same for forty years.

I would like the mint to be successful in this endeavor and I also want the collectors to like them. My suggestion would be to follow the British. They have the Queen’s Beast series which are 2 ounce coins, but the mint could make them either 2 or 3 ounces and in .999 silver. I believe they would have winners and the mint could make money doing this.

US should stop printing a dollar bill . Made a new gold color dollar coin N gold $1000 coin (contain Mircochip technology) for circulation use! Make sure the coin can shining forever! Save the Earth . Stop use paper !

I don’t think so – they have TOO many presidential coins fro 2097-2011 “left over”

I can not beleive that this bill passed!! The politicians couldn’t wait very long to start a new useless dollar coin program. The Presidential dollars just finished in 2016. Why does the date and mint mark have to go on the edge? I can not think of another nation in the world that puts dates and mint marks on coin edge. Back in the 1700’s the U.S. put values on the edge of coins, but not dates.
I think I’ll put my money into some great older U.S. coins that are a better investment. I hope more collectors will join me and not purchase these useless dollar coins.
