I would have much more liked to see something from the executive branch on the reverse of the coin then the Statue Of Liberty, even a design of the White House would have been better (even though George Washington never served there).
get rid of the coin- it sucks. Maybe redesign it into a slightly larger than a damn quarter size coin- more in the way of a half dollar- the damn thing looks ugly and way to busy.

You just might get your wish. The Bill in the senate,NATIVE AMERICAN $1 COIN PROGRAM. Calls for a Redesign of the Sackie Reverse and edge lettering.
`(A) COIN REVERSE- The design on the reverse shall bear--
`(i) images celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the development of the United States and the history of the United States;

`(B) COIN OBVERSE- The design on the obverse shall--
`(i) be chosen by the Secretary, after consultation with the Commission of Fine Arts and review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee; and
`(ii) contain the so-called `Sakakawea design' and the inscription `Liberty'.

`(i) IN GENERAL- The inscription of the year of minting and issuance of the coin and the inscriptions `E Pluribus Unum' and `In God We Trust' shall be edge-incused into the coin.

Neither, if we absolutely HAVE to have a small dollar then bring back the SBA. At least it was an attractive color and looked like a coin instead of those subway token looking things.
Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
Obv of the Sac, reverse of the President. If I have to pick one and can't seperate the obv/rev then it has to be the Sac hands down.

Does this mean we can have an image of them being escorted westward to the reservations so the white Americans could expand into and develop their lands?
Without a doubt, the Sacagawea dollar is the most beautiful design the mint has produced for circulation since 1947. The presidential dollars so far are shameful.
Sac, especially in DCam 69 or 70. Of course I haven't seen George in proof yet, but with that pessimistic, scowling, frowning look they gave him, I'm sure I'll still be voting Sac! Maybe the other presidents will look better though; only time will tell.
I never thought that growing old would happen so fast. - Jim

For example, I do like the reverse of the new Presidental Dollar coin. But maybe put the reverse with the obverse of a Barber half?
What is the best combination that you would like to see of any current US coin?
Ahhh the mint and the mind set of artistry.....

The Prez dollar looks like a chocolate coin. I bet a bunch of them already have teeth marks.
