Because it is a very limited run. High demand vs Low Supply = profit.
Let me know when you find a Trump Dollar coin in your pocket change.
[snicker] let me know when you find any dollar or half-dollar coin in your change. There's a story behind why a quarter was described as 'two bits'.
Paper currency is so much more convenient.
I just rechecked the site and there is no montage limit. The special Privy Mark has 250,000 minted.
Those are not “rare” coins.
As a comparison, the Flowing Hair silver coin had a limit of 1,794 privy mark minted. THAT is rare.
I wanted to make sure I hadn’t misread the release I saw earlier.
I am not Pooh-poohing anyone who wanted to buy these. I just did not see it as an “investment” as others have been in the past.
To each their own.
I don't handle $100 bill very often, but the mint will be releasing special $100 bills WITH TRUMP'S SIGNATURE ON THEM in honor of America's 250th. Those will also be sought after, although fewer people will be able to keep them for financial reasons.
A bit was 12.5 cents. It goes back to an eighth of a dollar based on the original Spanish piece of eight which was the original basis of the US dollar.
Two bits was 1/4 dollar, or 1/4 of a Spanish coin.
It all goes back to silver coins.
