What are the odds?

The 2000 Sac dollar is the one most prized by collectors out of the seven year set. Last night I was going through my Sac dollars that I have found detecting ( 21 of them ) and every stinking one of them is a 2000. Stranger than strange, but I'm happy.

go to your local postoffice if they have a stamp machine put a twenty in and buy a book of stamps you change will be in sac dollars.

Went and checked my 14 that I have all were 2000,rub the discolored with silver polish and they will come out looking new.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Get a can of Eagle One Never Dull and it will make them new again.

I can't even get them at my bank. I don't understand why people hoard them. The mint shucked out over a billion of them. They ain't never going to be in short supply or worth anything. The first minting was 600,000,000, then the mint spent $40,000,000 on an ad campaign to get people to spend them yet they kept hanging onto them.

[Uncle Willy]

New ones?

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

Why are we all coming up with the same year. Is that the only year that they were lost before the hoarding began? There are seven years of those puppies out there. Where are the 2001-2002-2003-2004-2005-2006.

Uncle Willy
I have a 10 or 15 gallon jar full of coins we collected over the years and to many to count are sac's, I use them to give for birthdays for dairy queen girls we know , one for each year and that means most get 17 or 18, in hopes they might save some of them (you know kids) Next my buddy goes to the bank and gives them 1000 to order him a box of them new and yes he got them, he gives one to his grandson for each a on his report card or something. Point is I dont recall ever seeing any of all I have seen that were not 2000 s . I wonder if they made them for 7 years with the same date on them?"? You know it is our american government in charge there.! I just made the comment to the wife the other day did they ever make any others or are we just not comming across anything else?
Oh ya I have only found one with the 2500 all the others have been found at places like banks, resturants and such, I watch the change bins at these places and if I see one or two I ask for them, they are usually greatful to get rid of them.
Nice note tho; they are still worth a dollar!
Have a great day

I don't know what happened to all the other years. I see coin dealers advertising the seven year set so they must be out there. I came near ordering a few sets recently but like a dumbo I let the ad expire. Next time I see an ad for the seven year set I'm going to jump on it.

I know the mint pumped out over billion of them before they gave up. Don't know why the idiots keep making them the size of a quarter, but we know how bright our bureaucracies are. Why not make them the size of the original silver dollar then they would look and feel like a dollar and couldn't be confused with quarters. They made that stupid Susan B. and it went over like a whore in church. They just never learn I guess.
