I am nominating this for featured article because I believe it meets the criteria. The trade dollar was one of the most reviled coins in the history of the United States, and that's saying something. It was a coin created out of the greed of the federal government and helped feed the greed of businessmen who unleashed the unpopular coins upon the nation. Its original use was to compete with the Spanish dollar and other large silver coins popular in the Orient. Due to bullion depositors dumping the coins into circulation, the trade dollar became the first and only United States coin to be demonetized, though its legal tender status was unintentionally restored in 1965. Thanks in advance for any reviews and comments, and I hope you all like the article!- RHM22 ( talk) 18:58, 16 April 2011 (UTC) reply

Support I did some light copyediting earlier on but it really didn't need it. Another worthy coin article.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 16:21, 28 April 2011 (UTC) reply
