Thoughts on a New Dollar Coin
2 Attachment(s)
In 2019 it will be the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. There is a bill for the commemorative coins from the US Mint but for collectors and not circulation like the Sacagawea and Presidents Dollars. Here is a Concept Dollar of the Apollo 11 Mission designed by Daniel Carr .

Is that an actual mint pattern? He's used that astronaut a few times on his own work, many of which are better looking.

Oddly, I was just reading how the presidential dollars haven't been made for circulation for while since the early ones were still sitting in vaults unused. Steve B |
I would like to see the paper $1 & $5 bill be discontinued and changed to coins. I try to use the $1 coins as much as possible to pay for items but never get them back in as change.
I do like the design of the Apollo 11 Mission coin. I have liked all the $1 coins since they made them slightly larger than a quarter and changed the color of them. |

Now Ben, there's an entire industry that would suffer if we did away with $1 bills. Get rid of $5s too, and the workers probably wouldn't be able to afford clothes. Not that that would be a problem for them at work. ;)
I have pretty mixed feelings about it. I like paper money more than coins, but the coins are also a cool thing. The old large size dollars lasted long after they were discontinued in Vegas. Steve B |
Not loving that concept coin. Not enough drama depicted for one of the biggest accomplishments of mankind. I remember the landing well and have witnessed nothing as historically thrilling since
