Newsflash – Gold Dollar not circulating

National Public Radio has used its vast resources to uncover the startling news that people are not using the gold dollar. Hmmm, we were wondering about that. Really, though, it is something of a shame. I can’t think of a reputable country left that still hangs on to paper currency possessed of the low value of the dollar. And the Sacajewa is really an attractive coin, particularly the first version with the flying eagle. Of course, these aren’t the first dollar coins to pile up unloved in the Treasury’s vaults. The old Morgan dollars spent decades there beginning in the 1800’s before the last ones were released early in the 1960’s. Some things don’t change much.

While they’re not being used here, can you guess where they do show up in change?
