$1 coins are idiotic in today’s world except as celebrating history or for pure collecting.
They are impractical and you, McLame, are clearly ready for a nursing home...
I have several dollar coins from past tries and merchants will not take them, yea I know they are legal tender.......
Well, I do have my post just above this one that suggests I disagree with you. However, I don’t carry cash. Everything is plastic for me. It is only rarely a hassle, and usually involves buying things I really don’t need.
To the extent that any cash still makes sense, $1 coins are long overdue.
Here in Canada, we like our Loonies and Toonies. A $5 coin is likely coming soon. Meanwhile, we just axed the penny. As another poster mentioned, if you compare the value of money today vs (say) the 1950’s, we should even have $20 coins — and probably no coin below a quarter. It’s either that, or have a currency revaluation — where you’d exchange (say) $50 for one Newbuck.
BTW, while a $1 coin weighs more than a $1 bill; it also weighs a lot less than four quarters. So long as we use coins for vending machines and parking meters; $1, $2, and even $5 coins will prove to be pocket savers.
