The problem with the Dollar Coin (good idea) was the fact it was the size of a Quarter! It might have worked had they made it the size of an old Half Dollar—And what’s with this Sacajawea Indian Lady? She was a Canadian. We have lots of dead presidents we could have used on this coin—like Reagan. If they really wanted a lady—use Eleanor Roosevelt. At least she was ambassador to the UN. Size and poor PC presentation doomed the dollar coin. How about a five dollar coin?
Here is another idea-—return to gold standard and make the coins out of real valuable metals.
If a coin must go—dump the penny and nickle.

Wasn’t she Lewis & Clark’s guide?
At that time most people north of Albany were “Canadian”.
