New dollar coin available today. Sacagawea has been replaced by George Washington as the face of the golden-collered dollar coin. It's a new attempt at getting dollar coins into circulation, with not only George, but each president in turn for three months at a time. (side note: only presidents dead for at least two years can appear on currency)

Also, as with state quarters, serious and novice collectors will snap up a bunch, effectively buying money, which is profit for the government.
