There was a thread yesterday on this news, and there were some good ideas in there. Delete the penny, but replace it with a twopenny. Kill the paper dollar and push the two dollar bill. Finally, mint up about a billion more dollar coins so people stop hoarding them and start using them.

I don't like any of those ideas.

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