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...

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.

    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.
    I'll come up with something.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Nicely cooked examples image ! 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 ...
