Other Anthony Dollar Collectibles

In the private sector, there were several businesses that promoted the use of the new dollar and at the same time promoting their business. These businesses included banks, retail stores, coin dealers, restaurants, and many, many, more. Here are several examples.

This commemorative Susan B. Anthony dollar coin set was privately produced for Zotos International, Inc. Zotos manufactures a full range of hair care products for salon professionals. Their office is located in Darien, Connecticut.

A few hundred of these sets were produced for Zoto's 1979 International Sales Convention. One was placed at the table setting for each representative present at the convention. The set contains a 1979-D Anthony Dollar.

Zotos used the commemorative set as a tie-in comparing Ms. Anthony's success in her fight for women's rights to their contribution of the success of hairstylists and salon owners. "In addition", as the accompanying card states, "the young Susan was inspired to launch her campaign for women's rights at a convention held in Seneca Falls, New York, a neighbor of Geneva, where Zotos perms and other Zotos products are manufactured".
