We've had two $1 coins and both have been failures. They are too heavy to keep in your pocket.

Yeah I remember the Susan B Anthony. It was about the size of a quarte... I think it wasn't completely rounded (if I remember right). People were confusing it with the quarter. Major mistake. What happened to the second recent try at a dollar coin?

2nd try was the saquajawea or whatever, gold, looked like a Chuck E Cheese Token... same size as a quarter but gold.

They need to not worry about reverse compatibility with the Susan B, dollar coin should be larger than a quarter, period.

When the Susie first came out, my wife had somehow gotten a couple as change, and tried to use them to pay for stamps at the post office. The clerk would not accept them, "because she didn't have any place in her cash drawer for them." So much for the legal tender laws. . .
