#3 It's a money making scheme. It prolly costs about 20 cents to make one dollar coin, and peeps will collect them, so the mint releases them at about 80 cents profit each. They never get into common usage, so the mint presses on.

(And the thought of the Jimmy Peanut or Slick Willie commemoratives . . . ICK!) On the other hand, can't wait for the Reagan
