This Week on the CoinWeek Podcast, I talk to Aaron Klein and Shawn Smeallie from the Dollar Coin Alliance. Smeallie is the Executive Director of the organization, and has a 30 year career working in Washington in various capacities, including as a Special Assistant to President Bush for Legislative Affairs from 1990-1993. He was worked with the Dollar Coin Alliance since 2011 to get leaders to get the dollar coin circulating in America again.

Klein is the former Chief Economist for the Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee. In this capacity, Klein worked on a number of big legislative efforts, including Dodd-Frank and TARP during the Obama Administration. For the next thirty minutes, we go beyond the soundbites and get to the heart of the matter… is there a future for a dollar coin?
