........and i say sakakawea. that's correct people,according to an article in the coin world, we may see a few changes to the "sacs" or take your choice "saks" in the near future.
the mint may start new commemorative reverses on the dollars and incorporate edge lettering as well. if you have the chance check out the article in the march 5th edition front page.

It is supposed to start in 2009 if it becomes law. It does not sound like a bad program but maybe they could wait a while or came up with the idea before the Presidential Dollars.
<< <i>I don't think we should have two $1 coin programs running at once. That would be redundant, and repeatative. Should not have both at once. >>
I don't think we should have three $1 programs (2 coins and 1 rag/paper) at once. Pick one, junk the other two and move on. Who cares about Sacajawea anyway?
Edit: I saw the line that they would consult the arts commision for the obverse so I thought it would be a new design, but under that it does say that a picture of Sacagawea will stay on the coin.
This sucks so bad.
<< <i>Under the law Sakagawea wont even be on the coins anymore. It is meant to commemorate the achievements of other Native Americans. The bill also sounds like they want the symbolized $1 on these coins, which I kind on like because it looks modern and leaves more room for the picture. Some of the designs could include: Jim Thorpe, Code talkers, Creation of the Cherokee written language and the Pueblo Revolt. >>
I nominate Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.
How about we just put out 370 different dollar coins each month from now on!

Might as well make it an even 500.
The nice thing about such a selection is it will force collectors to focus on a certain area instead of getting everything every year.
I nominate Chief Jay Strongbow!

That only works for Virginians.

How about if we expand the gold American Eagle series to include a 1/50th ounce piece with a face value of $1???
LOL

.... as long as a paper dollar is available.
I want to see the Indian from the village people.
C'mon Y. M. C. A.
. . . One solid design with a lot made will make them seem like any other coin. <
