I Just Love These New Golden Dollars

by: Markus McGee^*

      I don't know about you, but as soon as I heard the U.S. mint was going to start issuing one-dollar coins, I jumped on the bandwagon.

      For years I have been struggling with heavy, unwieldy, paper money. Thanks to the new golden dollar, however, my days of monetary frustrations are finally over.

      Just look at its distinctive edge, distinguishing color, and unique shape. Believe me, these features are "clutch."

      I'm also a huge fan of the person who is featured on the front of the coin. Sacagawea really doesn't receive the credit that is due to her. I mean, she was the first female U.S. President.

      For what seems like the last million years, people have used paper currency to represent wealth. I think it's fitting that we can finally barter for goods with gold, unencumbered by heavy dollar bills.

      Sacagawea, your girlhood dream has finally come true.
