Is the House's decision to replace Sacagewa with Presidents racist?

Poll question: Is the House's decision to replace Sacagewa with Presidents racist?

[Hugin]

1. How's about just "other"...

Since the Sacagewa dollar wasn't moving I'd say the case
was better that the population was racist.

Or they simply don't like coins.

Dollar coins will never work until they're accepted
by vending machines.

2. No. n/t

3. ? They are not replacing her coin. They are adding more

so that they will be used more. Why does it have to boil down to race?

If I dont use her coin, does that make me a racist?

[GreenArrow]

4. not necessarily racist;

just unimaginative and dull.

[Renew Deal]

6. What would you have prefered?

[GreenArrow]

7. how about something other than a president perhaps?

Are there no others in over 200 years of American history worthy of being on a coin? I'd even like to see natural wonders, animals, and artists, writers, etc.

[Renew Deal]

5. Was it racist to put her on the coin?

Ask anyone on the street who is on the $1 coin and see what they say. The coin isn't used nearly enough in this country. No one knows who's on there.

8. It's not used for 2 reasons. !. It's not different enough!

2. Why would I want to carry a heavy, noisy coin in my pocket insteat of 10 singles in paper? It's just stupid!

If they really want to convert to the Dollar Coin, eliminate the dollar bill!

It's not that much different than the $2 bill. No one uses them either because they aren't different enough. They look too much like $5's.

9. What a ridiculous question.

[Abelman]

10. Whatever

I find it stupid we don't use coins more. Paper money is for suckers.

[Fenris]

11. I will continue getting blank stares when I try to pay with $1 coins

So, it doesn't really matter to me.
