collection for the last year or two. Considering they minted a billion or more they are really scarce.

Unlike the Canadians who actually USE their one dollar coins, it seems most Americans who get them squirrel them away because they think the dollar coins are unusual or "rare". If vending machines in this country started taking them, I'm sure we would be finding lots more. As it is, I think the only machines that take or give them are stamp machines.
I don't understand why the U.S. government doesn't push the dollar coins more since I understand the life of a coin is 35-40 years and the life of a bill is 6-8 years. Oh, yeah, that's it - since when has our government shown any interest in sound economic practices? :veryangry:

Boy it must be nice to live in the land of plenty. 
That's quite a sum. I'd be wet all over if I found that many.

The Mint spent $40 million on an ad campaign to get people to use and spend them but instead they all hoarded them. Why I'll never know as they will never be worth anything - not with over a billion minted. I think if they brought them back in silver dollar size people might use them but since they are so close to the size of a quarter that's why I think they never became popular. Leave it to the eggheads at the Mint to screw up. The Susan B. Anthony fiasco didn't wise them up one iota.
