The sheer chaos here. Did not know about the Hayes coin. Also some very interesting stuff on a forthcoming Odd Lots about why the Susan B. Anthony coin was such a flop.

According to @PhilipNDiehl, the Susan B. Anthony coin was such a disaster for the mint, that the entire agency was scarred by the episode for over a decade afterwords.
@PhilipNDiehl (Basic problem was the coin was the same color and almost the same size as the quarter, so consumers never really got comfortable with them. Issue was rectified when they made the Sacagawea dollar coin gold-colored)
BTW, we brought on @PhilipNDiehl to talk about the trillion dollar coin. But the fact of the matter is that the issue is so cut and try -- obviously it's legal and correct -- that there's not much more to say on the matter. So we ended up talking a lot about coinage in general.
