The new $1 coins are here.


The new $1 coins are here. They are being issued in the order that the presidents served our country. Quick? Who are the fist 4 presidents of the US?
1George Washington 1789-1797
2 John Adams 1797-1801
3 Thomas Jefferson 1801-1809
4 James Madison 1809-1817
These 4 are going to be issued in 2007.
These coins are going for more than face value on ebay right now.

They do have a cool look to them but are they practical? I hate carrying change in my pockets and I don't like carrying cash for that matter.

I'm wondering if our coke machines in the church will know what to do with these $1 coins when they show up? The machine will have to wait until 2010 for $1 Abe Lincoln and 2015 for Jon F Kennedy.

Let me know the fist time one of these coins show up in your pocket.

Hi Todd,

I was wondering if it's true that these coins do not bear "In God We Trust". If so, that's sad...for us as a nation.
