Nope. FIRST was the Republican backed Eisenhower dollar. The Dems killed that, and came up with the Anthony. The republicans killed that, and everybody compromised on the minority female dollar. Then they decided they could make money on the presidential dollar series.
The politicians are too big of wimps to show the leadership to kill the dollar bill, which is now worth less than a dime.
The Eisenhower dollar replaced the prior dollar coin soon after he died (1971 IIRC), approved by the Democrat Congress. In 1979, after years of complaints from feminists that the only non-allegorical persons featured in U.S. currency had been men, the Democrat Congress approved a new dollar coin with Susan B. Anthony (a Republican suffragist) on the obverse. The SBA dollar was a huge flop due to its size (much smaller than traditional dollar coins, and not much bigger than a quarter, leading to confusion when feeling for coins in one’s pocket), and they stopped minting them after 1981. However, by that time, most vending machines and buses and such had been adapted to accept SBA dollar-sized dollar coins. not the earlier, larger ones, and when the Treasury tried to bring back dollar coins in 1999 (with one final run of the SBA dollar) and when Congress approved the Sacagawea dollar (first minted in 2000) and the presidenti dollar coins (first minted in 2007), they kept that unfortunate size.
If we’re married to that sized dollar coin, as appears to be the case, we should start looking at coins as we do with dollar bills (which are all the same size).
