I think they may have the dollar coin figured out this time.
Yeah, we've never been able to figure out how to make dollar coins before.

No, no. I mean they’ve figured out how to get people to distinguish between the dollar coins and other coins by touch alone.

The SBA dollar failed because it pretty much looked and felt like a quarter, right down to the milled edge.

The Sacajawea dollar has a smooth edge like a nickel and could be mistaken for one by touch.

The new Presidential/Liberty dollars have a uniquely engraved edge that feels different to the touch from any other coin.
