(unlike the squawbucks which were too silvery to identify at a quick glance and they tarnished too much).

The Susan B. Anthonys were horribly indistinguishable from quarters.

I have no problems with the Sacagawea dollar, despite the lunatic rantings for or against political correctness. IMHO, it is a good-looking coin, somewhat reminiscent of the Buffalo nickel and Indian-head penny. I also find them very convenient to carry in my pocket with other change, and use them for small purchases or leaving tips. Whenever I'm at the bank, I try to remember to pick up a roll or two.

So, Willie, is that a roll of Sacagaweas in your pocket, or...? ;OD

People rejected the Sacagawea dollar, and rightly so, because it replaces the Father of our Nation with some Indian chick.

I think a better protest would have been to throw them through the windows of government buildings. Occationally the government needs to be bitchslapped.
