Here we have an old commercial from the US Mint touting the "New Golden Dollar."

The Sacagawea Golden Dollar Coin premiered in the year 2000 to poor demand. The government intended the coin to replace dollar bills, which would save the country millions as the coin would last significantly longer than a paper dollar bill would.

In an effort to promote their use, the US Mint had commercials like these made. In this commercial, the face of George Washington (taken from a dollar bill) is super-imposed on the body of a person.

"OK, so I am not on the new Golden Dollar Coin. That's cool with me!" states the Washington figure. The commercial continues with "Washington" doing things a normal person would do in their daily lives like eating Chinese food, dancing, scuba diving, bike riding, etc. It also shows him using the dollar coin to pay for things, closing with "Its So Money."

Take a few moments to watch this vintage commercial, you may recall it.
