The Government Efforts to Make One Dollar Coins Popular
When it comes to one dollar currency, most people will think about one paper dollar instead of one dollar coin. This is because most people prefer using paper dollars because they can be folded and light to be carried. People tend to collect one dollar coin and not use it as currency.
In the past, there were silver one dollar coins, which were quite popular. In fact, they have a long history in America. They are minted and circulated from 1794 to 1935. Due to silver shortage, the production of silver coins was stopped. It is not easy to find these silver coins nowadays because most of them are already in the hands of collectors.
In 1971, the government tried to popularize one dollar coin again and the Eisenhower dollar was produced to achieve this purpose. Susan B. Anthony dollar replaced Eisenhower dollar in 1979, but this one dollar coin has minimum popularity. After two decades, in 2000 the government tried again to make one dollar coin popular by releasing Sacagawea dollar that portrays a famous Native American woman. This dollar coin again failed to gain popularity and its demand decreased significantly in the following year.
The latest effort from the government to push one dollar coin to public was releasing the presidential dollar coin in 2007. The coin portrays each U.S. president who has served in order. The first series in 2007 included four presidents: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison. Every year the government will release four types of presidential coins until all U.S. presidents have been depicted.
The height, weight, and color are the only similarities between presidential coins and Sacagawea coin. Elaborate artworks are used in presidential coins with side inscriptions that state the issued dates, E. Pluribus Unum, and In God We Trust. The designs are indeed very attractive as intended by the designers.
If you are interested to get these presidential dollar coins, you can contact banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. You also can ask businesses to give you change in these presidential dollar coins when you buy something. A collector book is also available online and through U.S. Mint if you want to collect the coins. The book is designed specifically so you can place your coins in order of their release.
Basically the government wants to follow the concept of fifty state quarters by releasing these presidential dollar coins. These quarters are still in circulation today and can be considered quite popular. This is what the government wants that people can use the presidential dollar coins instead of the one dollar bills. It is interesting to see whether this effort will succeed or not because as mentioned previously one dollar bill is light and foldable.

Pages: 28. Chapters: Sacagawea, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, John Colter, York, Toussaint Charbonneau, Patrick Gass, Alexander Hamilton Willard, Charles Floyd, George Shannon, Peter M. Weiser, Pierre Cruzatte, George Drouillard, John Ordway, Nathaniel Hale Pryor, Cameahwait, Old Toby, John Newman, Richard Windsor, Joseph Field, John Dame, Reubin Field. Excerpt: Sacagawea (also Sakakawea, Sacajawea; English pronunciation: see below); (c. 1788 - December 20, 1812; see below for other theories about her death) was a Lemhi Shoshone woman, who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition, acting as an interpreter and guide, in their exploration of the Western United States. She traveled thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean between 1804 and 1806. She has become an important part of the Lewis and Clark mythology in the American public imagination. The National American Woman Suffrage Association of the early twentieth century adopted her as a symbol of women's worth and independence, erecting several statues and plaques in her memory, and doing much to spread the story of her accomplishments. In 2000, the United States Mint issued the Sacagawea dollar coin in her honor, depicting Sacagawea and her son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. The face on the coin was modeled on a modern Shoshone-Bannock woman named Randy'L He-dow Teton. No contemporary image of Sacagawea exists. Reliable historical information about Sacagawea is very limited. She was born into an Agaidika (Salmon Eater) tribe of Lemhi Shoshone between Kenney Creek and Agency Creek about twenty minutes away from present-day Salmon in Lemhi County, Idaho. In 1800, when she was about twelve, she and several other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa (also known as Minnetarees) in a battle that resulted in death among the Shoshone of four ... |

Sacagawea: A Biography $22.63 Sacagawea, kidnapped as an adolescent and sold as a slave to a French-Canadian fur trader, is best known for her role as interpreter and symbol of goodwill for Lewis and Clark on their journey west. Despite her pivotal role in this era of Manifest Destiny and blending cultures, much of her ensuing life story remains uncertain, thanks to a larger focus on Lewis and Clark themselves, as well as the perpetuation of legend over fact in several 20th century movies and publications. This concise and readable biography offers an objective treatment of Sacagawea's childhood, her journey with Lewis and Clark, her later life, her explorer son, and the mythology surrounding her death and legacy. As the Lewis and Clark expedition is heavily represented in the U.S. history curriculum, this much-needed volume fills a gap on the reference shelves and supplements American history and Native American studies curricula. Lively narrative chapters are supplemented with a timeline, photos, print and nonprint bibliography, and an index. As the Lewis and Clark expedition is heavily represented in the U.S. history curriculum, this much-needed volume fills a gap on the reference shelves and supplements Native American studies curricula. The subject matter directly supports the National Standards for U.S. history Era 4: Expansion and Reform (1801-1861). Lively narrative chapters are supplemented with a timeline, photos, print and nonprint bibliography, and an index. |
