Silver dollars were minted in the United States beginning in 1794.
It is hoped by the government that the new issue of the Sacagawea dollar coin will be popular in order to replace the dollar bill. Coins are more durable than bills and for highly used denominations such as $1 the wear and tear on the notes make coins more economical to produce.
