Native American Sacagawea

Sacagawea Coins

The Presidential [Dollars] signify the latest attempt by the US Mint to circulate a one dollar coin in the United States. It is a noble ambition… nicely, not less than it’s a worthy attempt to save some money. Dollar coins value pennies to make, and they last a long, long time. Paper [dollars] don’t cost much to make both, however they only final about six months on average.

Will the general public actually use them? Does it matter?

The dollar coin has never been wildly popular with the public. Back in 1794, when the primary US dollar coin was introduced, a greenback was quite a lot of money. Folks did not need lots of them day to day. That was fine. The fledgling US mint was initially a jury rigged institution not identified for its efficiency. Mintages had been low. And moreover, the Spanish silver “piece of eight” was far more plentiful. It was acknowledged by the public as a coin created from good silver. The US Congress specified that the new American dollar coin be made to a specification very similar to that of the Spanish coin, which it additionally allowed to flow into as legal tender until 1857.

By the time the mint had developed right into a extra significant establishment, with ample capability to produce coins of top quality in enough amount, the need for the still massive silver dollar was threatened, first by the Civil Warfare, during which cash of all sizes had been hoarded by the citizenry, and then, as an outgrowth of the wartime coin scarcity, the growing acceptance of paper money. Paper [dollars] have been more convenient, particularly in the populous Japanese states. Now, it is fascinating to know, that though the general public, except on the gaming tables in Nevada, has by no means been fond of the “silver cartwheels” – the federal government has rarely let that stand in the way in which of greenback coin production. When silver mines overproduced in the course of the 1870s, and the value of silver was falling, Congress handed legislation requiring that, for each paper greenback printed, a silver greenback can be struck.

And so that they had been – by the millions. But they did not circulate, a minimum of not within the quantities being produced. A lot of the silver [dollars] of that era were put into canvas luggage and saved in bank vaults. Many have been saved on the mint. I’ve personally observed the curved indentations made by these cash in the lead lined partitions of a San Francisco Mint vault when I toured the constructing years ago. And after I was a child in the 1950s, I could take a twenty greenback bill to my native bank and change it for a roll of twenty silver dollars. Many of these had been in uncirculated condition with dates within the 1870s, 80s, and 90s!

By 1935 the mint had struck its last conventional 90% silver one dollar coin.

Moving forward to 1971 a new greenback coin appeared. This was the Eisenhower dollar, which commemorated the first President remembered by a lot of the Boomer Generation. It was the identical size because the previous silver dollar, however at finest, contained barely 40% silver. The primary time I received “Ike” [dollars] in circulation was in 1972 at a fuel station in California, just beyond the Nevada state line. It was the one time I ever noticed them in change.
