Which is why I liked the Sacajawea design. It was return to both Liberty and Indians. I agree it’s time to remove presidents from our coinage.

I thought it would be a good idea to have some roles of Sacajewea coins stashed in the truck for emergencies. I should have put them in strong plastic bags. They had gotten damp over the years and corroded, stuck together and covered in green gunk. I tried to clean them up to no avail.

I did get them unstuck. One of these days I’ll see if the coin machine at the store will recognize them so I can get my money back. Maybe a bank?

The problem with the Sacajawea coin was it’s poor quality. After about a year in circulation, the gold had worn off revealing the base material.
