[UA] Golden dollars

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

The idea I had was that Susan B. Anthony dollars were used to make Lucky
Charms [ from UA2 ] a while ago, and that some Avatars of the Mother made
some more specialized artifacts with unintended consequences, thus causing a
war of ideas among female avatars ( the idea of women being mothers as
opposed to women as independent free spirits ).  

Cliomancers could chime in as well in the translation of Sacagawea's name:

Short form: 
Sacagawea: Bird woman.
Sacajawea: Boat launcher.

Sure, you could do similar things with a SBA dollar... but since those are
out of production ( and unpopular to start with since they kept getting
confused with quarters ) they might be harder to find.

As for flight, the golden dollar has a soaring eagle on the reverse:

Well, isn't the counter to the golden dollar coin the Susan
B. Anthony.  It's perfect since it has the women's sufferage icon on one
side, and an eagle landing on the moon on the other side.
