New $1 Presidential Coins

[grimm1970]

I just wanted to see what others thought of the New dollar coins that are out there.
Personally, I think they look like crap! They remind me of arcade tokens, or crappy souviners that you would get somewhere.

I'm all for the dollar coin, but these look horrible!

I would love to see a dollar coin slightly bigger than a quarter out of copper with a traditional Indian Head design like the penny or Buff nickel, and something traditional on the back.

The statue of liberty on the back of the new coins remind me of that cheezy Million Dollar bill that someone sells with the statue of liberty on it.

What do you guys think?

meee tooo..... The imprinted edges feels kinda cool when you have a bunch
but I see what you mean when you say they are like tokens....very light.

I burned all 25 of them up the first day I had them.
It was a fun novelty to pass them along at the bars.
People kept wanting to buy a couple here and there.
