THE OBVIOUS DOLLAR COIN PROBLEM

Last week, Dick Johnson discussed the failure of the
Sacagawea to circulate. Granvyl Hulse, Numismatics
International Librarian writes: "I think that it is time
someone pointed out the obvious. As long as the
Federal government continues to print paper one dollar
bills any dollar coin will not be used. The U.S.Mint
spending $67 million to promote something that would
have immediately gone into circulation when no paper
dollars were available sounds like a pork barrel project
combined with stupidity. Maybe it is time we hire some
Canadian mint officials, and put our own out to grass."
