Did you know that the US mint was introducing a new dollar coin this week? I hadn't heard that before today. They need to learn a little about publicity, don't you think?
Anyway, in case you hadn't heard either (and if you did hear, from where or from who?) it will be a gold colored dollar coin featuring George Washington. Every three months a new coin will be minted with the face of a different president in the order in which they served.
Congress believes this dollar coin will be more popular than recently minted coins Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea. (Recently, as in a recent century, young people.) They base this belief on the popularity of the state quarters which were well received by the public, and introduced coin collecting to millions (well, maybe thousands).
