The government cancelled the normal distribution of the US President gold dollars to the banks so that is not them. I did see something that they were planning on putting out gold dollars with the president's wives on them but I HOPE that was a dream.

I wish the OP would enlighten us as to what brought on this thread.

BTW: I agree that the only way to get the dollar coin into circulation would be to quit printing the dollar bill. But this is a government that will not quit minting the penny and the nickel even though it cost 2.00 cents to print a penny and 10.09 cent to print a nickel.

The US mint has stored billions of dollars of the presidential gold dollar coins because no one wants them.

They should cut their losses and flood the market with the gold dollars and suspend the one dollar printing to see how it goes.
