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!

Is it a problem for you that a one dollar bill is the same size as a fifty?

The same problem as coins you can't tell by size. You have to look at
them each and every time. Now you can't do much about paper bills as
they will all feel the same no matter the denomination but there is no
reason the dollar coin couldn't be made enough bigger than the quarter
to be told by size. Say about 1/2 way between the quarter and 50cent
coin. You could sort coins by denomination in your pocket by feel up
until the dollar coin.
