President coin series faces unpopularity
Small, golden and bearing the faces of our country’s former presidents, the coins in the U.S. Mint’s new $1 coin series are only a little larger than a quarter. While the U.S. Mint released the coins to educate Americans on our country’s presidential history — only 7 percent of Americans can name the first four presidents — the lesson may go unheeded as many have no interest in the new series. “I can’t say that I care one way or another about the coins,” said Anita Richards. “I don’t usually carry around a lot of change.” Richards is one of many local residents who either knew little about the new $1 coin series or were uninterested.
