These are going to be about as popular as
a box of rocks the Presidential $1 coins or even less. As of 3rd Q 2016 the Federal Reserve Bank had about 1,250,000,000 of the $1 coins sitting in vaults (as in a billion two hundred fifty million U$D). About a predicted 30 years worth considering current demand (an optimistic prediction in my mind). And why they stopped making them.
And the Senator from CT feels the need to make more? And he's up for reelection? What an idiot! Why the power of the federal government needs to be devo'ed/decentralized.
