circulating $20 st gaudens

TavernTreasures

I was reading my complimentary numismatic news that I got at the Baltimore show. In the letters to the editor, one collector was going off about this and that with all the issues the mint is now making, especially with the silver and gold programs.
But he also mentioned that possibly the US mint should make the $20 St Gaudens in copper for circulation. What an interesting idea. What do you think?

Seems like every cash purchase starts with a $20 bill, so why not a coin?

I'd approve but the coin needs to be heavily gold plated.

not a bad idea.

Bad idea, people won't carry any large coins so it will be another sac, or presidential dollar. I know I don't want 10 of those things in my pocket. But as a collector coin it would be fun.

Bad idea. They would be very heavily counterfeited within 24 hours.
