well they did, once upon a time make a 5 dollar coin :-)
but i agree with you! i find the dollar coin laughable when inflation
has driven everything except a pack of gum past a dollar!
you need 8-15 of them just to walk into a gas station and buy a soda,
pack of smokes, and a sandwich!
i would really like to see a 5 dollar coin for example made of 90% silver! It would be the size of a nickel or what not.. whatever allows
the mint to make sure silver does not go up enough to have it pulled
out of circulation for the practical life of the coin.
even a 5 dollar gold piece will soon get lost in
our pocket lint ,due to its teeny weeny smallness.

Truth be told that if 5 presidential dollars would make your pants fall down you're either:
Wearing your pants way too low across your but.
Wearing pants that are way too big for your but.
or
A combination of both.
5 Presidential Dollars weigh exactly 12 grams more than 5 quarters!

you stole my line!
i always detested how congress put such a puny denomination on these
gold coins. i don't get it except for the fact congress never wanted
them used in commerce ever. period.

You can have it if I can choose the denominations, years and mintmarks of the five bucks
<< <i>With all the Canada-bashing that goes on regarding their wide variety of commemorative coinage, I have to point out that they have been using $2 coins for over ten years. Travelling in Canada, I found the $2 coin to be very useful for restaurant tips and small purchases. Plus, they don't wear as quickly as paper currency! >>
The UK has been using £2 coins in circulation for a while. Worth $4 a piece, they do change the way one views cash and coins.

If I live to the year 2020 that is!
Besides, it keeps my minor purchases during the day down under $10 bucks.
Also, I sometimes restock during the day, I keep a stash in my desk at work as well as the car and of course at home.
My favorite fun as of late is to pay for something that costs $5 with:
1 IKE
1 SBA
1 SAC
1 Prez
and 2 Halves
or some combination. Takes the tellers forever to count !

It all makes sense over there and I think it would work here if we were not so stuck on the size thing. If two similar sizes are confusing just put a hole in one of them.
