New Presidential $1 Coin



New $1 Coins
How cool is this?? The U.S. Mint is introducing $1 coins featuring the Presidents of the United States. The first four will be: Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison. The release date is February 15, 2007 President's Day.
The coins are identical to the Sacagawea Gold Dollar and are similar to the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, making the new coins acceptable in vending machines that currently accept dollar coins.
Also the United States Mint will provide educational and informational materials free of charge to educators. They are also making lesson plans for teachers and parents which will be available for download at no charge. For more information see USmint.gov/$1coin.
I wish the pop machines at work would take these. No matter how new or crisp my dollar bill is, the stupid machine spits it out over and over. I usually end up trying all the bills I have if none work then I either ask someone who is nearby or go without. Ugg.
