| | United States dollar coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Original silver dollars from this period are highly prized by coin collectors and are exceptionally valuable, especially the 1804 silver dollar, which is one of the rarest and most famous coins in the world. | | | The obverse was designed by artist Glenna Goodacre, using Shoshone Randy'L He-dow Teton as a model for Sacagawea [1]. | | | The coins were never very popular, primarily due to their large size and weight which made them inconvenient to carry and the fact that very few vending machines are designed to accept them. |

| | The U.S. One-Dollar Coin |
| | In an effort to produce a new dollar coin that would, hopefully, be more palatable to the public, a plan has emerged in Congress to mint a new one-dollar coin, which would have a golden colour and a distinctive edge. | | | The most recent dollar coin, of course, was the Susan B. Anthony dollar. | | | One early dollar is particularly prized -- the 1804 Silver Dollar (which was not produced, apparently, in 1804) has garnered its own web site, complete with domain name (1804dollar.com). |

| | However, it will be the same size as the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, which is 26.5 mm (1.043 inches) in diameter. | | | It will also have a "distinctive edge," which means that it will not display the reeded edge as seen on the quarter or the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin. | | | The new coin will have similar metallic, anti-counterfeiting properties as current circulating U.S. coins. |

| | Sacajawea Golden Dollar |
| | Because demand had increased for a dollar coin in commerce, the government's supply of SBA dollars was nearly exhausted, creating a need for a new dollar coin that would be easily distinguishable from other change. | | | The overall composition of the new Golden Dollar is 88.5% copper, 6.0% zinc, 3.5 % manganese, and 2.0% nickel. | | | The new dollar coin replaced the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) dollar coin, which had circulated since 1979. |

| | What Is A Dollar? A silver coin of the United States! |
| | (This dollar for circulation contains no silver; specially minted--and higher priced--numismatic dollars contain 40% silver.) In 1979 a smaller dollar coin, bearing the head of Susan B. Anthony, was issued; the public found it confusingly similar in size with the 25cents coin, and the small dollar quickly fell into disuse. | | | Paper dollars were first issued in America in 1775 and have appeared in amounts of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, and $10,000. | | | From the middle of the 19th century, gold coins valued at $1, $3, $5, $10, and $20 were also minted; after 1934, however, all gold coins were taken out of circulation. |
