  • One of the most iconic denominations around, the U.S. dollar started in 1794. Since then, it has undergone tons of different designs (over ten) and I'm here to cover all of them. In this presentation, we'll go over the different facets of the dollars in terms of their histories, errors, values, and neat tidbits of information about how they evolved and why they did so. I certainly learned a ton about the coins as I made this video and I hope you do too!

    9:10, I wish I could get a heavy circulated morgan for 17 dollars. The silver dollar's prices have such a high premium that I can't find any under 20 bucks.

    Great subject Christian. I just recently finished the years ( not all mints though ) of the Morgan's, Peace, and Ike. I love the sound of silver.

    As always, you have made a highly informative video. The history has two extremes: the incredibly rare and expensive early silver coins evolving into unpopular, unused and frankly unloved modern "golden" dollars. You Americans really haven't embraced giving up the one dollar note, thats why all modern dollar coins have flopped.
    Here in the UK, the one pound coin was launched in 1983 to replace the one pound note. The coin would buy you 5 pints of milk in 1983, it had considerable buying power. It was an unpopular coin at first, but by 1988 all pound notes had been withdrawn from circulation. A pound became a coin, and by the 2000s a very widely counterfeited coin. I remember the fakes. By 2015 the pound coin was horrifically outdated, and so the Royal Mint launched a new 12 sided bimetallic pound coin in 2017.
    Stay safe and well.

      The note is useful in certain aspects but it also has pitfalls. Our currency is a much bigger situation compared to UK. Your pound coin is almost useless compared to our currency situation. Two different worlds

      Yes, but it is bullion issued the denomination of $1. So technically it’s a U.S. Dollar Coin.

    Do you think in 2021, we can finally force Congress to pass a bill that get rid of $1&$2 dollar bills with dollar coins? Save billions of dollars, cash transactions are faster, better for the environment and make public transit easier to use? Also help create many new middle class mining jobs.

      The more things we can spend dollar coins to buy the better. That should be the train fair in NYC. No monthly BS just a dollar coin allows you to pass into the boarding area. Having the need to have them to get around is oart of what will keep them valuble.

    Don't forget that the mint started a new series of dollar coins a few years ago called the Innovation Dollars which are still the small gold dollars but with reverse designs that display "innovations" from each state and territory. The program is slated until 2032.
