While I never took to the SBAs, or even the Sacs, I believe the Presidential series will be a success. First there is the educational piece. Too many Americans can't even name the presidents. This addresses that issue. Second, It is the first coin with edge inscritions since 1933, and actually gives the coin a more modern feel. Third, collectors are cleaning house with these, and will continue to do so because of the relatively low mintages, errors, and strong debates/issues on the edge lettering. I do agree with one item you stated though- for true success, the government will need to stop making the $1 bill. It’s dissappointing that you have this stance on the new dollars.

The coins add spice to the governments life and the consumers eyes just as your online hobby. I can’t really see this as a complaint or informative.
