Other studies have shown that the only way the American public would accept dollar coins is if the paper currency were completely taken out of circulation

It also takes all the 3rd world armipit forgeries out of the picture. Makes a bazillion 100 bills worthless.

Coinage is and always has been far easier to counterfeit than currency, going back AT LEAST as far as the first paper notes in England 300-odd years ago. What the devil are you talking about?
