Guys- it's Sunday and my bank is closed, otherwise I'd ask them. Are Ike dollars still in circulation?
Thanks |

Depends on what you mean by circulation. They are still currency. They have NOT been minted in quite a few years now, since the Susan B Anthony dollar coins and the more recent gold colored dollar coins. The bank may have a few in the change bins.
...to all the coins I've dropped here

No. In fact, they are worth a lot more than one dollar. You can get them in any coin store for around 5 dollars or so.

Wow! They must have gone up. I got mine in a coin shop a few years ago for a dollar something each.

There a little harder to find then just going to the bank. You should be able to pick some up at a coin shop for about 2-2.50 each.

I just went to my local coin shop last week (I had to replace a Walking Liberty half dollar that somehow got lost), and he gave me an Ike dollar as change. "Well, thanks!!" I told the dealer. "They're only worth a buck, anyway, just like these," as he showed me the Kennedy halves. If you're looking for UNcirculated Ike dollars, yes, those will be a little bit more expensive. Try ebay.
If it was easy, everybody would do it, and if everybody did it, it wouldn't be magic.

Ike dollars are still in circulation but because the people don't want them as day to day money, they have fallen out of favor.
It is actually very easy to get as many as you want for exactly $1.00 each. Go to any bank and place an order for them. The bank can order them but you must take a full bag. The hard part is that a bag contains 1,000 coins & you must shell (no pun intended) out $1,000.00 dollars. After that, you can just use them or deposit them into another account at another bank. They will hate you but they cannot refuse the deposit. If the bank makes a remark, tell them the deposit could be made in pennies. |

I just got some "poor quality" as the coin dealer says (but are great quality) for $1 each. they are great in chad sanborn's holy grail. They also have a nice weight.

I personally think that the Ike dollar is the ugliest coin design in our history. I pay a little more to have Morgans.
