Same here. I love Morgans and "junk" silver. Not to mention Prospector rounds. And maybe some Zombie Walker stuff. The only non silver coinage I collect are the bicentennial quarters and halves. Just something neat about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Maybe they will put AOC, etc on the quarter... then we can really have some two-bit women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must be diverse. We got a black woman a white woman a Indian woman a Mexican woman. We needed a Chinese woman. And she got picked. I figure if they succeed in their "multi-racial women on coinage" without the country pitching a bitch, they will go back to their plan to put Harriet Tubman on the 20. Baby steps.

The last time that was discussed it was pointed out gun toting Harriet Tubman was probably more aligned with the Lincoln Republicans of the day. You know, freeing the slaves and all unlike the Southern democrats, I mean slave owners, of the day. That just wasn't going to check all the boxes on the application to change to the $20 for the PC crowd. Although I do not think any of our currency needs to change Harriet Tubman certainly exhibited real strength and real bravery through her actions and should be on a very short list towards that change.

The gold dollars I do like to use on occasion and sometimes I will even use a stack of Eisenhower "silver" dollars for a tip at a restaurant just for something different. $2 bills, I have discovered, also lead to mass confusion or at least some interesting conversation.

I like to use the gold dollars and $2 bills for tips. I used to use the Eisenhower dollars on occasion. Never more than one, tho. They have always been tough to find and now they're darn near impossible. For a while I had a lady at the bank keep an eye out for them for me. I haven't gotten any for quite some time. I guess somebody has decided they are collectable and started hoarding them. Boy howdy, but they'd get some attention when I left one on the table. I think it would brighten up my day as much as the person that got the tip. If I ever win big at the lottery I may start handing out real silver dollars as tips.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The coins last longer in circulation than paper money, which is the rationale for minting them. If the govt. had spent their research dollars on human behavior instead of metal vs paper, they'd have know that people don't like them because they're too heavy to carry in meaningful quantities. So now they just sit in jars and drawers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
