“They also cite the success of Canada and other nations as proof that the public will accept the dollar coins once the paper dollar is eliminated.”
Ummm...they didn’t have a choice.

You are not allowed to eliminate the penny when I am charged 7.25% sales tax.
Flat 5% or 10%, then we can discuss eliminating pennies.

Cost-wise, I can understand eliminating the penny. But the dollar bill? From the article, it appears that those behind this move are in the copper industry, and have something to gain from switching to dollar coins.

There's no practical, economical use for both the paper dollar bill and the penny. At the gas station, the tray is full of pennies. If I drop a penny, it's staying on the ground. Get rid of both of them, and for the dollar bill just phase it out completely instead of ridiculously keeping it in circulation while pissing money away on special designs for the $1 coin. Put Lady Liberty on it and be done with it.
Also a $1 coin would be a boon for the laundromats, vending machines, restaurant tips, and the jukeboxes at the bars.

Get rid of the Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea PC coinage nonsense and more people would go along with it.
Imprint it with an American Eagle or the Washington Monument or something historic and not feminist or PC and it would be more readily accepted.
People don't want to carry around advertisements for feminism or other such nonsense. They don't think of them as having any value and are personally detestable.

I am more interested in the return of $500, 1000, 5000 dollar bills and a return to the gold standard.

In my lifetime the government has devalued the dollar so much that 15¢ then is worth $1.00 now. That 15¢ was perfectly fine as coins (and not even the largest ones) back then, so a dollar coin (with consideration of a $2 coin) makes sense.
And I agree, dump the penny. It just isn't worth enough to bother with. The very existence of the give a penny/take a penny tray shows that it is valued similarly to pocket lint.

Getting rid of the dollar bill seems kind of...stupid. Seems like a ploy to make us forget about perhaps our most important founding father.

Lets eliminate the penny, the nickel, and the dime. The quarter should be the smallest coin. When people freak out, remind them that a penny in 1915 would have the purchasing power of 24 cents today.

The penny is one thing, though I oppose abolishing it, gotta have exact change.
But the dollar bill? That’s insane. This is what McLame is doing with his time?

Reducing the basic unit of a nation’s currency to worthless pocket change debases that currency in the minds of the citizens.
I say they should modernize the design of the $1 bill like they have the others.
If they want to have a dollar coin that really circulates, it should have *some* intrinsic value. (And not be ugly.)
And keep the penny, too. It’s the only coin I can afford to collect.
