Is the American $1.00 coin....?

Question

legal tender? My husband has a pile of them, but I never seen them in the shops, etc.

Answer 1

Yes they are (MUST SEE BELOW)

These are about the size of a quarter 25 cents
but a little larger and gold in color not real gold:

The most current president dollar coins are the latest from the U.S. Mint, and will have all the presidents on them
(((FYI save all of these))) limited production releasig 4 new one a year I think there is plans for the coins to have the first ladies on them to. See U.S. Mint (SAVE)

Prior to these and are still produced are the sagaqwea dollar coin same size same color not real gold
(((FYI save all of these))) limited production and may be phase out ??? See U.S. Mint Still in production

then the Susan B Anthony dollar coin smaller then a quarter
hexagonal edges, color of a quarter silverery not silver
(((( FYI save all of these))) NO longer made..1979 -1987 I think

Prior to that :The Eisenhower Dollar coin is a Big coin
silvery in color not silver some where made with 40% silver for collectors only (((FYI SAVE all of these )) no longer made
1970 - 1977 I think


Collectors prise the following::
Peace dollars a ounce of real silver
(SAVE SAVE SAVE)) silver is very collectible 1922-1934 I think
Very collectible value high dbl digit to hundreds to thousands of $$$


Morgan dollars real silver 1 ounce from 1878 to 1921
SAVE SAVE SAVE
Very collectible value high dbl digit to hundreds to thousands of $$$

Trade dollar 1875-1878 I think
Real silver 1 ounce
SAVE SAVE SAVE
Very collectible Not many out there with out paying high dbl digit to hundreds to thousands of $$$

Barbers 1795 to 1875 I think
Very collectible Not many out there with out paying hundreds to thousands of $$$

Note the condition of the coin reflects its value
grades are proof, mint, uncirculated, circulated for laymens terms

The value of the most recent dollar coins "president" sagawea, Susan B. at face value (The letters on the coins say "One Dollar" or buying power is $1.00 , but if you have proofs, mint, then value is much more than a dollar and could be high double digits

Eisenhowers high double digit value if in mint. proof uncirculated condition

All the silvers Peace, Morgans, Trades, Barbers ect..
even rough low end are worth high double digit to very valuable coins that are proofs, mints, uncirculated can be
$ 1,000.00 ++++ or more

Answer 2

Yeah, the gold coin with the native american girl on the front is. I cant spell her name, but it sounds like Sak-a-ja-we-a. The only problem is that most vending machines dont take them cus of their larger size.

I know that after the state quarters are done this year, they are planning to do the presidents on (silver) dollar coins.

Actually the old really large half dollars and the old HUGE silver dollars are legal tender too. My mom gets them all the time from work. She likes to buy them from her office (accounting) and save them up as vacation money. since they look different she doesnt spend them. Some people ask what they are when we've spent them. lol.

Answer 3

Yes they are legal tender in the US or in any country that allows foreign money to be converted. No or business can refuse legal tender money unless they don't have change for it.

Answer 4

Yeah, they are legal tender. With the exception of certain vending machines which aren't set up for them, you can spend them anywhere.

Answer 5

Yep, silver dollars and the newer gold-tone dollars. I used to work at Target... got them all the time. Along with 50-cent pieces and $2 bills.

Answer 6

Silver dollars are legal tender in Canada.I imagine they would be in the U.S too.

Answer 7

yes they are legal and as american tender you can spend them where ever american currency is accepted.

Answer 8

Yes, but most retailers loathe them. There's no place for them in the coin trays.

Answer 9

Yes, they're legal. Most people keep them that's probably why you don't see them given as change.

Answer 10

If It looks like this then yeah
