BTW, the traditional knurled edge that we're used to seeing on many US coins came about when they were still real silver, & some clever folks would shave a little off the edge of each flat edged coin they got a hold of, until they had enough nearly pure silver to melt down...the ridges were added to put a stop to that...

Thanks Zoid, for the info.............. Very interesting.  Kinda makes you think you need a God to trust in because it isn't going to be your fellow man you can trust. But now I'm confused about exactly who's image my fellow man was made in. 
And thank you Wyndhy for that link.

I'll repeat my statement that "until a dollar coin is larger than a quarter of a dollar coin, it will NOT be accepted, regardless of the image or color" (coloUr ... for the Kanucks).

One traditional feature that has been left off the new dollar coin is the appearance of the word "Liberty".

I noticed that before I saw the coins.  :
