And what crappy, non-rare metal will they be stamping this in? Another zinc masterpiece? Better yet, zinc-coated resin?

What is this now, the 7th time is the charm?

Of course, maybe tough times will change the outcome...

Dollar coins don't work for general circulation, it's been proven time after time.

And thanks to inflation, the coins will be worth only slightly less than the beads used to buy Mahattan.

I received an email that the one dollar coins currently being produced do not have "In God we trust" on them.

Any truth to that?

What a piece of Cr^p. I have an Idea, why don’t they make $10 and $20 pieces with 90% silver? I am sure that they would be popular.

Bah humbug....More politically correct jive. I suppose these will be popular in the Indian slot machines. Why not put a great American inventor on the coin like Thomas Edison? Or a great military man like General Patton?
Some of those tribes mentioned have some big lawsuits going against homeowners on what they consider Indian land. Oenida I believe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- dollarcoinreverse.gifThe United States Mint today announced the new design that Americans will see on the reverse (tails side) of Native American $1 Coins next year. The design, based on the theme "Government - The Great Tree of Peace," depicts the Hiawatha Belt with five arrows bound together, with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, $1, Haudenosaunee and Great Law of Peace. The United States Mint will commence issuing these coins in January 2010, and they will be available throughout 2010.

The Hiawatha Belt is a visual record of the creation of the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, with five symbols representing the five original Nations. The central figure on the belt, the Great White Pine, represents the Onondaga Nation with the four square symbols representing the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca Nations. The bundle of arrows symbolizes strength in unity for the Iroquois Confederacy. The design is by Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Thomas Cleveland.

Will it be round? If so that would be insulting and insensitive because of the "wheel thing" and all.

The government is still warehousing 1.2 billion Sasquachawea coins from 2000. They flake and turn green after a few weeks and look like hell. Idiots.
