I think the reason for the previous failures were simple poor planning. The Susan B looked way too much like a quarter so you had to have decent eye sight and be paying attention to not make a major error. Even store cashiers had problems getting them right.
The Sacagawea was too cool, it was a collectors item from the start. I'm sure the mint intended it to be that way.
If it's going to succeed, then it has to be something distinctive from other coins to have any shot and it can't be tried for a year and than given up on.
