The AP has an article on the latest changes proposed to get people to use the dollar coin. Every few years, they redesign the dollar coin with the idea that this time around, people will use it, but every time it ends up the same. People like the novelty of the new coin, but they don’t spend it. This time around, Congress is proposing to remove Sacagawea from the face of the coin and replace her "with a rotating design approach honoring presidents in the order they served the country. The face of the coin featuring a president would change four times a year. The back of the coin would feature the image of the Statue of Liberty." Similar to the state quarters. I doubt this will entice people to spend the new dollar coins any more than they spend the old ones.

But buried in the middle of the article is this lovely little sentence.

Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., an architect of the presidential dollar coin bill along with Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said he didn’t intend to mount a campaign against the dollar bill.

I’d love to be called the architect of the presidential dollar coin bill. I think I’d like to own a dollar coin bill. But somehow I don’t think I’d spend it.
