At the rate that the Federal reserve is throwing the currency "under the bus" I am looking forward to female nudes being featured on the currency. Perhaps Elliot Spitzer's girl, Kristen, could grace the $1000 bill and Scarlet Johanson could appear on the new $5,000- this might slow down the velocity of money and prevent hyperinflation!.

But unfortunately, the U.S. public sees differently. Except for use as tokens to ride the T into Boston, I hardly ever see dollar coins anywhere.

Me, I only have Silver and Gold eagles so far... need to hunt down some old 90% coins one of these days. As for bills, meh. I rarely have more than a handful of bills at a time... any large purchases are made with a credit card. They could make the $5 bills purple and pink for all it matters to me. 90% silver coins are a great way to build up a silver collection.
