How to make the Presidential dollars more fun

...Color them in on the computer

After finishing off a moderatly sized project today, I did some scanning, and decided to have fun with a dollar scan.

I started with this...



and created this!











Maybe if they looked like some of these they would actually circulate?

You can also leave the Buchanan one with the rest of them, one at a time, to see which he goes best with.

You're having entirely too much fun with that scanner lately.

The Andy Warhol of the coin world? Could be.

Nice. I used the stove to do something similar one time when I was bored.

If it's a question......my answer is a resounding 'By not collecting them'. The mintages, ever increasing pops (even FDI....still boxes & boxes of them taking up space at the TPG's, ALL eligible for the FDI designation) the serious beat-down of prices...better to just grab a roll from the bank, and cook 'em for the funky colors, like MrSpud did. I feel for the modern dealers....unless you have a pop-top, in the single digits, you can't give 'em away.

Someone has too much free time.

They cook up nicely!

Nicely cooked examples ! I like them better than the Gimped ones (no offense)...

For what it's worth, I found a cashier where I get lunch who gets a lot of dollar coins. She saves them for me, so I'm able to collect them from circulation - which made this series a lot more entertaining for me.

Now if I can finish collecting Kennedy Halves from the blackjack tables, I'll be a real happy camper ...
