I think I can find something better to do with $3000!

The whole program stinks! I don't like that they eliminated Liberty! I don't like that they relegated "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum" (not to mention mint marks and dates) to the sidelines! I don't like the way the mint released to the TV shows all these coins before their own announced release date! I don't like the way NGC is handling these "First Day of Issue's" which, you can buy from Armchair TV network prior to the official release date for a rather large markup! And, I especially don't like the way the mint is marketing these cheaply made, rather ugly, mass produced pieces of pot metal which, if you buy a couple of rolls per Dead President, should eat up over $3000 of your coin money! I don't know about you, but I think I would rather have a really nice old prestige coin in my collection than a big heavy box of Mardi Gras tokens gathering dust in my closet, and let the Mint/NGC/TV networks have to actually earn their money! Of course, these are my own humble opinions, and I'm sure we will all be paying for our Big Macs with presidential coins in the future, but I for one, will pass! Here's a hint to the mint- at least make them out of silver guys- at least then we would have something to show for our money!
