Remember the Susan B Anthony and Sacajawea coins? Well the dumb *&)s
did it again. I just got some of the new dollar coins and again they
are almost identical in size to a quarter. Close enough that you have
to look to be sure. Seems to me the idiots were puzzled when people
didn't use the old dollar coins. They didn't listen apparently when
told that the major objection was the size, too close to a quarter.

Ah well, never underestimate the stupidity of beuracracy!

I thought they were gold colored this time around.

So were the Sacajaweas.

The fubar was back when they did the Anthonys, picking that size. They
shoulda used the old silver dollar size, or something a little bigger than a
50 cent piece, which has basically vanished from circulation anyway. I
thinking the vending machine companies basically dictated the size- anything
bigger than the size they picked would have made machine retrofits
impossible, IIRC. They would have had to start from scratch.
