Hi Ray,

I think it’s like the State program for Quarters – the idea is to use the constant uniqueness of the different coins to generate interest & awareness, and hopefully to more usage.

In the end, it’s all futile, since as long as a dollar bill exists, no one is really going to move to the coin.

It has been very hard to find the coins so far – the US Mint really did not get the coins out as planned to the banks and merchants. I think this will improve in the next few weeks, but a lot of people are complaining about not finding the coins.

Each president is only available for a limited time? How very Beannie Baby of them.

Doesn’t this imply that even the Mint isn’t serious about trying to make the dollar coin mainstream? If they’re intentionally marketing it to collectors and putting an inherent limit on their production schedule, why would anyone who’s not a collector care about these coins?

This is further confirmed by the fact that a friend of mine who *does* want to switch to coins from bills has been unable to find any thus far. He has gone to several banks to try and find them, and has been told that they do not intent to carry them. If even the banks don’t care, why should the mainstream consumer?
