Abstract
The release of the Sacagawea dollar coin in 2000 met with decidedly mixed reviews. Critics complained that it was too much in size like the quarter and could not be accommodated in retail sales drawers. Despite the intrinsic beauty - the golden coin features Sacagawea and her infant son on the face and a soaring bald eagle on the reverse - the dollar has earned little popularity since its introduction.
